how does Houndoom hear without ears

Avatar

I don't know and it's lack of ears greatly bothers me :(

Tempted to edit him and add ears in to see what it looks like.

I enjoyed reading all your theories on how Houndoom hears! My guess is either it hears through its horns somehow, or there are bird-like holes covered by fur near the base of the horns. 

Regardless, I couldn’t help myself, so here are two versions of Houndoom with ears. Do you think it looks better, or cursed?

And one floppy ear variation, just for fun :)

Some guy behind me ordered 15 sugars with his coffee and I instinctively blurter out "what the fuck? 15?" with my windows down and I heard him laugh.

I slept in and just woke up, so here's what I've been able to figure out while sipping coffee:

  • Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.
  • The official branding is that a tweet is now called "an X", for which there are too many jokes to make.
  • The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn't reclaim the username first.
  • The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.
  • Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name "X" in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for "X" in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.
  • The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term "X Japan" is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.
  • Elon had workers taking down the "Twitter" name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says "er".
  • He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as "Xvideo". Nobody tell him.

This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.

the motherfucker has wanted to have an x.com since his paypal days and now no one can get in his way by doing something like (squints) explaining prevalent cultural implications of "x" and trademark and copyright regulation

rabbits know and resent their place on the food chain

mice and rats also know they're prey animals, they just have such joy of living that it cancels out. guinea pigs have no concept of death but understand contextless fear. hamsters however do know the food chain, but they also know that attachment to the earth is the root of suffering and they wisely deny the faults of the ego

WE FOUND IIIIIIIIIT OMG Me and some people have been searching for this image for a couple months now xD Woke up to see someone found it and told me! So happy! Thanks @naariel!

To all my artist friends, this one’s for you <3 

I really needed this, so I’m reblog going here for others that might need it too

This applies to writing, and any other creative skill too actually. i’ve seen it before, but that was before I had a tumblr, so reblogging for anyone who hasn’t seen this <3

No don’t worry we are ALL. We are ALL 👀@ the pepper!!!!

Mr. Gaiman, would it be crossing the picket line if I saw Barbie in theaters, or should I wait until the strike has been resolved?

Avatar

No, it's not crossing a picket line to go and see anything. Nobody from any of the unions has asked for a boycott of anything yet.

Continuing to go see your movies, watch your shows, stream your favorites is one of the best ways to support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA right now. This content has been made, and it makes money. It helps immensely to show the studios the value of the work that writers and actors do.

If you don't go, it hurts writers and actors. Studios can say, "Well, actually, Barbie only made $X dollars, Oppenheimer only made $Y dollars, only so-many thousands of people watched Good Omens 2, obviously there isn't enough money to go around. Sadface emoji."

See the stuff you want to see with reckless abandon.

back in my day we didn’t have youtube or tiktok if you wanted people to see your funny video you had to mail a VHS tape to ABC and pray for bob saget’s approval

I started thinking about that one post about how from dogs POV humans are beings that live like 500+ years (because I was petting my dog and I was looking at her like “thirty thousand years of cooperation have led to this. our species have spent 30k years building up to the point where you, child of wolf, descendant of noble hunters and wild things,  would come all the way out of the office and come sit with me in the hopes of letting a souped up monkey rub its paws on you”)

and then I thought about what it must have been like for the first humans to let a fucking wolf, maybe only a few generations from the wild, behold their infant child. Like man can u believe that? Maybe this alliance is only a few years old and sure you’ve seen the wolf’s kids but now you’ve got one of your own. And even though you’ve seen this wolf tear out the throats of creatures that could kill you, this wolf is your family. This wolf is your friend, you love them and they love you and you gotta show ‘em the new kid, look, friend, I had a child. I know you are wild and dangerous, but look at this, my most precious thing, sniff him, give him a lil lick, his children and your children will be bound together for thirty thousand fucking years because I love you

There’s a set of  preserved footprints from 30k years ago that is a young child and a wolf standing side by side can you fucking imagine? Maybe the kid’s mom was like “hey go get some water from the stream, but take the wolf with you. I trust him, he will protect you.”

I was on a ferris wheel today and this is what the seats looked like

Clearly the designers/builders/whatever understand color theory

The new ferris wheel for our local children's hospital lifts the hearts of our patients, the seat design especially gives strong vibes of compassion and strength!

Whenever I see anything like this my first thought is that @thebibliosphere will know what these words mean.

Unfortunately, you would be correct.

“Vampire facials”, which many people think is needling but is actually far, far worse, refers to platelet-rich plasma facials, in which blood is taken from a patient, processed in a centrifuge to extract the plasma and then re-injected it into the face. It’s supposed to make the skin “heal” itself because of platelets or some shit, giving you a more youthful look. Kim K helped make it popular after it was on her show but I know she also supposedly regrets it.

It’s uh, controversial to say the least. And not just because it sounds like painful bullshit but because lack of regulation for this sort of thing has lead to a couple of cases of HIV transmission happening.

The penis version is that they’re doing the exact same thing, taking plasma from themselves or a donor and injecting it into the penile tissue, supposedly to treat erectile dysfunction, but a lot of the men doing this are doing it just to get a girthier look.

And if you think I hate knowing all this, you’d be right.

i hope you’re proud of yourself Joy.
