Waiting for the Next Thing

@freyadragonlord

I have approximate knowledge of many things

Truth is, it reads more like "she can do everything" and "him, it's just Ken"

And ken is a slang used in French that means "to fuck"

So "Him, it's just fucking"

Which I think is even more hilarious

I dunno, I kinda love it… :D

It’s a fine line to tread when you’re breeding your phoenix. A swan is good:

  • Elegant
  • Classic
  • Like Cleopatra, he burns upon the water
  • Equal parts beauty and danger
  • Full of Secrets

But take it a few genes to the left and you’ve got a GOOSE

  • A raptor if raptors were total idiots
  • Neither beauty nor grace
  • Full of Hate
  • Has so much poop for you

(Make no mistake, a swan will mess you up just as hard as a goose. But it is the difference between being slain with a katana and getting whacked with a bag of old potatoes.)

It got better

Oh my God someone actually drew a Good Version of my Dubious Penguin????? And THEN someone added a sweonix (swan phoenix)? Oh man, this is the stuff you miss when you’re in the middle of a reblog chain.

@english-history-trip that is some powerful art, and I respect the trip that it represents from the sublime to the absurd, for in this journey we find enlightenment.

@keire-ke your magnificent penguin art represents the other side of the journey, which takes us from the absurd to the powerful. In this journey we find truth.

According to some sources, the legend of the phoenix might be derived from another bird noted for it’s striking appearance and who, indeed, are of the order Phoenicopterus

You know what birds those are?

FLAMINGOS!

Just saying…. if someone wanted to try ANOTHER take on Fawkes….

This is terrible and I feel like I should apologise, but really, it’s @iconuk01‘s fault.

Also I am not a certified Birb artist.

Never

Apologize

For

Shaming

Herodotus

so I’m speaking hypothetically here but is there any reason we can’t move the whole Phoenix thing backwards up the dinosaur family tree a little bit?

T-Rex Phoenix. that’s where I’m going with this.

Phoenix kiwi . Please you master birb artists make it happen! A useless flightless bird who gives death from the knees down

Dear @bunjywunjy and @gigi-tastic I hope you shall enjoy these firey beasts of past and present.

They make a fantastic duo.

HELL

@elodieunderglass Do penguin phoenixes dive down to geothermal vents for food? That would be a good reason to make them phoenixes.

They could! There are some near the Antarctic. Also, since classically there can only be one phoenix at the time, their self-immolating funeral pyre is required to provide enough heat to hatch their egg 😔

Maybe the real crisis of masculinity is that none of you people have FRIENDS.

The thing that I find most embarrassing about "Crisis in masculinity" narratives is that they've been talking about it my entire life and the "solution" has always been to consume: "BUY my book! LISTEN TO my podcast! TAKE these boner pills! JOIN this gym! BUY a big fucking truck! EAT steak! DRINK whisky! COLLECT guns! GET cosmetic surgery to MAKE YOUR HEAD LOOK LIKE A BOX so bitches will want to FUCK you!"

And yet it never seems to be enough, and the reason it never seems to be enough is because there *is* no crisis of masculinity, there's a crisis of corporate media making men feel insecure so that they can sell them shit. It's absolutely no different from the cosmetics industry or the diet industry or the fashion industry doing the same to women.
