I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.

It’s so funny how people forget what certain dog breeds were bred for. A dachshund named Valerie has been marooned on a remote part of Kangaroo Island since she ran away from a campsite in 2023 and everyone in the comments was like “that is the last dog breed I would expect to survive on its own for 500 days”. Hmm. I don’t know if it’s just me and I’ve met absolute freak dachshunds my entire life but they’re tenacious little motherfuckers with an incredible prey drive. I’m more worried about the critically endangered endemic Kangaroo Island dunnart population than I am Valerie. No large predators, several species of small mammal, temperatures consistently between 55° and 75°? She’s the queen of the island now. All small marsupials quake at the sound of her footsteps.

If I was forced to place a bet on survival odds between Valerie and the 50 or so remaining Kangaroo Island dunnarts…

My money would be on Valerie. Homegirl could drive the entire species to extinction in a single day under the right circumstances. I think people forget we domesticated and selectively bred common pets like cats and some small dog breeds TO kill small mammals. And they can be scarily effective at it, from an ecological standpoint.

Totally. Absolutely. At all times. BUT, I want to make it clear this does not seem to be a case of owner negligence. The reports say she ‘escaped a pen’ so it seems like they thought they had her secured and she did a doggy Houdini. Her owners DID extend their trip to look for her for another 5 days but eventually they had to go home. It seems that she has been continuing to do a doggy Houdini and evade all human intervention, the new spade of reports on her are because she was spotted on trail cam footage at a wildlife rescue.

So yes, please leash your dogs and don’t let your cats out, pets can have extremely detrimental effects on the ecosystem. But also Valerie seems to be a real stinker, a little problem child, a true boss bitch.

Well, dogs can be cunning little characters!

Hate to judge a book by its cover but she LOOKS the sort, in both pre-disappearance photos and her cryptid style security cam footage.

YAYYYYYYY!!!! Happy ending for all. Especially the dunnarts.

@multiisketch pointed something out that has been giving me brainworms.

New headcanon: Maria's hyperfixation.

Wave could just be seeing Shadow's shoes and assuming they're Extreme Gear, which would also be very funny. But with what we know of Gerald, he did love studying ancient civilizations. I think it's plausible for Babylonian artifacts to have made it onto the Ark and for Maria to have been drawn to their history.

So when designing Shadow's shoes, she had a lot of inspiration to draw from.

oh my god guys just doubled back and realized they wanted her to say ok boomer didnt they

Superman shouldn't be floating ominously above the people reaching out and begging for his help like an indifferent god. Superman should be personable, reassuring, someone who makes you feel safe, someone who does good because he genuinely cares, will rush in to help without a second thought, and still take the time to make sure you're okay before getting back to fighting a kaiju.

the greek mythology nerds when I say that theseus and the minotaur should have had an enemies to lovers arc

man the internet is so fake. when taylor swift gets engaged she gets all this attention but when i suggest that the minotaur and theseus are gay lovers no one cares. homophobic and unethical

i should post this on twitter and see what happens

Cassandra is that you

So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.

Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”

It’s a reminder, I guess, that they’re coming for all of us. The fash and the white supremacists will not make nice distinctions between the queers when they put us up against the wall. There is no gatekeeping, no label-policing, no purity-purging and no assimilation that any of us can do that will save us. They want us dead, and while they’ll start with whoever is most vulnerable at any given time, they’ll get around to all of us eventually.

Queer solidarity means all of us because the fash are coming for all of us.

All Dividers are Feds. Stand united or die separately.

ANYONE who is trying to divide our community is a fucking Fed. That includes other queers who like to argue about who is and isn’t “allowed” in our community.
