The Scarfasaurus' personal blog

Salaam! Tara/Homa/Ozzy/Jack/Poe (24, Persian, he/they/it). You probably mostly know me from my art blog @eye-of-enigmatic-thought, this is my 'main' or blog I follow from, I mostly reblog art, animals, and posts I like here whilst also various PSAs and informative posts that I think are important. I also vent a lot, because... I am a very sad person haha, so please keep that in mind. BEFORE YOU FOLLOW ME please look at my about first!

Went ahead and deleted one vent art I posted a week or so ago, it, felt a bit too personal due to being outright based on a breakdown and id rather it not be all out in the socials of medias sdjkjkds

I have a lot of similar personal art that I’d on one hand love to share, but itd be very… uncomfortable to show where it can spread and be left out of its original contexts, so I’ve had thoughts of maybe them being artpacks that you’d have to download or me making some nifty videos of myself showcasing a lot of them so I can still feel I have some level of control over them, but i dunno.

Its a weird thing for me, on one hand, I’d love to show my personal artworks for all the world to see, but when the many eyes with their unclear intentions hit me, it then begins to hurt.

hhhhhh just an fyi if you like... heavily involve yourself in fandom discourse and call yourself ‘problematic uwu’ or whatever when you’re sexualising things like kids and incest then um... please dont follow me, im not comfortable with anything that sexualises and fetishises that ya know. (I don’t know how to turn off reblogs on desktop and ive deleted the mobile app a while back so please dont reblog and take this as a invitation to argue about The Discourse with me, i just... dont want anything to do with it, lets leave it at that.)

HOLD UP??????

i am sooo glad i googled that. so Now we have to celebrate lains bday tomorrow.

okayyy yeah, im sorry but i think for the time being ill just be a spectator for this year’s art fight, i was really excited to join it for this month and draw art for others because I love doing that, but unfortunately ive been mentally unwell again and have a lot of things on my plate, sorry :(

This is a really poignant illustration of the seductive nature of glorifying war but that is a LOOK and she is SERVING it

I've seen Death depicted as a card dealer or other sort of gambler, a guy in a suit, a farmer, a robed apparition, and any other number of things, but this? This has to be the best Death I've seen yet. An old seductress saying "hey kid, don't you wanna die in a trench for a government that doesn't give a fuck about you, just like your dear old dad?" This goes hard as fuck.

woah

This is from ‘Beasts of Burden’, a really cool comic about a bunch of dogs (and one cat) protecting their town from the supernatural things that threaten it. It’s spooky and sad and really just fantastic. At one point they teamed up with Hellboy. Everyone should read it (if you don’t mind some pretty dark things happening. it is not a cheerful comic but it is a good one).

Hey! So, I loved this comic, and still think about it occasionally, and tonight it was linked to me again with just the right timing so that I hyperfocused and squirreled off to go read everything! They aren’t really numbered well, but the Wikipedia page has a list of them in release order and what anthologies to find them in!

But given that it’s a pain to seek out each one one by one, I’ve got a list of links in order a smidge further down! Please try to support Dark Horse Comics if you can, but if you’re broke like me and still want to read, the Internet is a beautiful place. According to the wiki page, there are at least two more installments to come, scheduled for May 1st and June 5th, but there’s no real update schedule for the series as a whole.

Do note: they are graphic, gory, and sad, with a lot of body horror. But they’re really fantastic.

Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites contains: 1. Stray 2. The Unfamiliar 3. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie 4. A Dog and His Boy 5. The Gathering Storm 6. Lost 7. Something Whiskered This Way Comes 8. Grave Happenings

Beasts of Burden: Neighborhood Watch contains: 10. Food Run 11. Story Time 12. The View From The Hill (the one in this post!)

This is one of my favorite series ever and I’m so glad it’s finally getting proper collections instead of one-off anthology appearances.

Warning, though, the story about Hazel and her pups will *destroy* you.

the tree shrew is extremely similar in format to the 65 million year old mammals that survived the dinosaurs and their mass extinction to eventually became you and me.  

often referred to as a “living fossil” the little direct physical evidence we have indicates that they have undergone almost no evolutionary changes in at least the last 34 million years. One of gods perfect idiots, no need for revision

u understand a lot about american suburbs by looking at the front and back of houses

Not super clear on what I’m supposed to learn from this

Basically that it’s all superficial, and embodies the literal definition of the word ‘facade’

They put a fancy front on the house and lots of nice grass, no doubt kept up with irrigation and intensive use of glyphosate, but in the back it’s all undetailed and a dirt lot because that doesn’t effect the value of the property

Not to mention most suburban homes are very cheaply made to begin with

It’s just another example of how capitalism is just a giant con job

As opposed to communism, which as we all know excells at pretty architecture, just look at any suburbs in any communist country.

ah, the US and Communism, the World’s Great Divide. is it still 1957 where you live? Did Eisenhower get your vote? 

me when im reminded of the existence of a thing i worked on like 4 years ago. it's a stand generator for jjba. it makes really, really weird stands. no "random page on the superpower wiki". i mean *weird*. never finished it. would like to someday maybe.

I heard reference to something about how all anime are required to have good looking cabbage because of That One Time. So simply looking up "anime cabbage" I found the source.

Some harem anime way back in the day had an episode where the characters cooked, and they animated cabbage so terribly like this it left a bad mark on the anime community forever. Apparently this is part of the reason why all food usually looks good in anime, even moreso than the regular show sometimes. With cabbage being especially well drawn.

A complaint, apparently in a paper.

The first show when released internationally was reanimated in this part.

And high quality or low quality cabbage is sometimes referenced.

I learned of this because the most recent Hologra episode has noel eating cabbage, tearing apart a fine quality cabbage into two low poly halves.

i love learning about other cultures' memes, especially like this
