"Koalas and pandas and sloths are such useless terrible animals for sitting around and eating nutrient poor plants all day!" say the fat lazy neckbeards who sit in their mom's basement stuffing their faces with junk food all day.
if you hate some type of animal because it “serves no purpose” or “doesn’t have the same emotional/mental capacity as humans/dogs/cats” i need you to set yourself on fire for me ok

I fucking hate when people say stuff like this. Especially when it's on a generally good post with valuable information. On the one hand I want to share that information because it could genuinely help someone; on the other, I don't want to spread this type of guilt-tripping and shaming and potentially trigger someone else like me. It's a lose-lose situation. No matter what I do, I am going to feel guilty. No matter what I do, I will feel like a terrible person. It sucks and I just wish people would stop doing this. I know it's shocking, but it is actually possible to make an important and useful post without guilting everyone that sees it into sharing.

One thing I really hate is how you can see opinions spread virally in real time, like once a popular reviewer says something about a piece of media even if it’s VERY distinctly their own personal perspective or they even completely misunderstood it (see: Nostalgia Critic and shit like that) you’ll see variations on the same take spreading exponentially.

Hot take, I really don’t think we should assign human morals onto animals and call them bad or evil. Fishblr has internalised this idea really well with sharks, and I think that’s good! Sharks don’t deserve all the fearmongering they suffer from in media. But… can we please remember to extend this to other animals too? Even to intelligent animals like dolphins (most commonly bottlenose dolphins) and orcas. It seems to be a counter to pop culture’s tendency to show dolphins as complete angels when they partake in some messed up things, but like…. Dolphins are still animals? They may be able to recognize themselves in mirrors and they may have language and culture and know how to use tools but their intelligence is still on the level of a human child (and how empathetic are those!!??). I see people talk about how evil dolphins are but I never see people talking about other animals the same way, like, why aren’t sea otters and their “evilness” the topic of discussion? :/

It's funny because Prince John was actually a tiger originally, but they removed his stripes and made him a lion, because I guess the idea of a lion with a tiger brother was less believable than a lion with a fox niece.
Why One Detail of Disney’s Robin Hood Bothers Me And Always Will
Hi, welcome to my Ted Talk, today we will be dealing with something that has bothered me about Disney’s Robin Hood since I was a kid and I still cannot get over to this very day.
And it all stems from THESE THREE PEOPLE:
Maid Marian, Prince John, and King Richard
I’m going to preface this entire thing by saying THIS version of Robin Hood is very very VERY different than the source material, much like all Disney animated films, but it wasn’t really DISNEY who did the big changes… those just came over time with making things more… I’m just going to say “normal for society”, which is ultra double lame.
BUT that’s not the point, because that stuff happens everywhere and with everything, and if I started to complain about THAT we’d be here all day, and I’m already going to take more of your time than needed to complain about something SUPER unimportant from a children’s animated movie made in 1973.
ANYWAY!
So, in the movie the titular character, Robin Hood, is a fox. Makes total sense, foxes are crafty, hard to catch, cunning, and known for getting into and out of situations that other animals would have difficulty with. Take that and turn it into an anthropomorphic character and you’d get someone who would easily be against the normal laws, not BAD, but would do BAD to do GOOD. Robin is a show off when he wants to be, and quiet when he has to be.
He’s a pretty perfect Robin Hood, especially in the case of animated kids movies, his characteristics just work SO WELL with his personification as a fox. GOOD STUFF, if I do say so myself!
Little John, meanwhile, is a bear. Not just any bear, but a big ol’ lovable brown bear. This plays on the idea of Little John being a cheeky nickname because Little John is a big, strong, and above all the calm, cool, and rationally smart one of the two. Robin may be clever, but John is the big picture guy. Pun intended.
These two designs and animal choices work SO well with each other, and it’s because these two are so different yet they get along and honestly NEED one another that makes the differences so perfect.
ALAN-A-DALE IS A ROOSTER. BRILLIANT. I don’t even have to go into this, do I? What a GREAT call by making Alan-A-Dale a rooster. Though, I feel a bit of his characteristics were also borrowed from Will Scarlet for the Disney version, but even that still fits everything. And, honestly, I don’t mind the blending of Alan and Will, it kinda works? Especially with the movie being as short as it is.
ROOSTER BARD. ROOSTER. BARD. So good, I mean c’mon. It’s perfection.
The Sheriff of Nottingham being a wolf is… okay. It’s okay. I get it though, having the wolf hunt the fox. Haha. Cheeky. Cliche, but cheeky.
I really have nothing to say about him, he’s just…okay. Dude’s a cop, so whatever. Not a fan of bootlickers, and the fact that they’re dragging wolves in the mud by making a wolf into a cop is… whatever. /He’s A Wolf Cop/
Personally, I don’t like Friar Tuck as a badger. It really doesn’t make sense to me, and I lowkey hate it that they totally missed so many opportunities. DOVE OF PEACE? LAMB OF GOD? Like FOR REAL, you coulda done something super cute like that, but NOoOoOoOoOoO… he’s a badger. And they kinda pick on him for half the movie, for no reason, and I don’t like that.
Still, Friar Tuck is cute, and a really fun character and they do some clever animation stuff with his “badger”-ness. Still a bit of a missed opportunity.
OKAY NOW THAT WE’VE GOT THESE OTHER BIG ONES OUT OF THE WAY, IT’S TIME FOR MY ACTUAL PROBLEM!
MAID FRICKIN MARIAN IS A FOX.
WHAT THE FRICKEN FRICKITY FRACK?!
ABSOLUTELY NOT! Disney did this JUST because they wanted Maid Marian and Robin Hood to be THE SAME ANIMAL, and that’s ABSOLUTE BUNK!
WHY? Well there’s two BIG reasons that is irks me!
First, the idea that they HAD to be together because they were the same animal or they were made to be the same animal so it wouldn’t be “weird” that they were together.
LAME! UNINSPIRED! BULLSHI-
*ehem* Nonsense. Nonsense.
And it’s even MORE nonsense because of this little fact…
PRINCE JOHN AND KING RICHARD ARE HER RELATIVES!
MAID MARIAN THE NIECE OF PRINCE JOHN AND KING RICHARD!
Okay, you could argue that Maid Marian was adopted, or that King Richard married a lovely fox woman and the fox woman’s relative had a daughter and THAT was Maid Marian. And YES, that would make the situation plausible…
EXCEPT!
This is MEDIEVAL ENGLAND and they are ROYALTY and that kinda stuff wouldn’t fly even IF King Richard is the King.
WHAT I’M SAYING IS…
DISNEY ARE COWARDS FOR NOT HAVING A BIG LIONESS LADY DATE A TINY FOX MAN AND WE WERE ROBBED!

Thanks for this. In fact, I actually commissioned this lipped musk deer design from my artist mutual Speculative Wildlife Research Center to satirize the lipped Smilodon trend.
Anyways, because a certain Smilodon post is taking off, I think it is worthwhile to say: don't trust this cast.
The sabers are produced separately from the skull and have to be stuck in there, and there's word swirling around that they came from a different individual than the rest of the skull, so they don't fit as they should.
Actual fossil skulls with articulated canines display a more reasonable position of the cementoenamel joint. In fact, the posterior edge of the joint is almost lined up with where the bone of the skull is. Notice how it goes up at the back of the canine.
I will also remind you that, even though Smilodon's canines are covered with enamel, so are those of fanged deer. And they hang outside of the mouth.
Meanwhile, elephant and walrus tusks have no enamel except for at the very tip - and it wears off quickly in adulthood. All of what you see here is exposed cementum.
So being composed of enamel and/or cementum isn't necessarily a constraint requiring you to cover your teeth

OC name meaning
Rules: Google and post the meaning of your OC’S name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too.
I was tagged by @sketch-shepherd, though I probably won't be tagging anyone else. I just thought it would be fun to go into how I came up with some of my OC's names.
Kathryn Orenstein and Liu Tsong (Adventures in Maple Isle)
(art by Flora-Tea)
Kathryn's given name is a tribute to Kathryn Beaumont, who voiced both Alice in Disney's Alice in Wonderland and Wendy Darling in Disney's Peter Pan (two stories in which AiMI takes influence from. Her surname is a tribute to Janis Orenstein, who voiced Clarice in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. (Like Kathryn, Janis grew up in Toronto and had trouble fitting in at school due to being the only Jewish girl there.) I also decided to give Kathryn the middle name Shirley as a reference to Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables.
Liu Tsong's name is a tribute to Anna May Wong, the famed Chinese-American actress who was born Wong Liu Tsong.
Liesl, Winnipeg, and Pepper (The Land After Man)
(art by Flora-Tea)
Liesl's name is a reference to The Sound of Music (and was also the name of a Labrador we had when I was a kid), Winnipeg's name is a reference to the female black bear that Winnie the Pooh was named after, and Pepper's name is a reference to one of my mom's cats (who coincidently has very similar black and white coloration as her fictional counterpart).
Petey and Teegan (Petey Pit)
(art by Sketch-Shepherd)
Petey's name is an obvious reference to Petey from Our Gang/The Little Rascals, which is probably the most famous example of how pit bulls didn't have the negative reputation they do today. Teegan's name is a reference to a German Shepherd an IRL friend of mine had, though thankfully he wasn't as vicious as his fictional counterpart.
I seriously considered naming Teegan after Derek Chauvin, the officer who murdered George Floyd, at first, before realizing that would be a little on-the-nose and uncomfortable.
