the first extinction of 2019 was a snail. . . Thought you would want to know if you did not already, though knowing you, you do. Sorry just a smidgen depressed about it.
the first known, anyway, but yeah, Lonely George died at 14 years old :(Articles don’t all go into the full detail of what happened, though.
Tumblr media
Hawaii was actually once home to HUNDREDS of species of unique tree snails with absolutely magnificent shells. Nothing quite like them anywhere else on earth, not even the rainforests.
Tumblr media
….But then, giant african land snails were accidentally released there (not their fault, all snails are pure) and threatened hawaii’s plant life.
Tumblr media
To control the giant snails, they introduced the rosy wolf snail on purpose (I have two of these as pets! They’re native to the mainland) because it will eat even snails far larger than itself, reaching into their shells and chewing their heads off until they’re full.
  People just assumed the tree snails would be fine because they were so abundant you couldn’t take two steps without finding dozens of them. They covered the trees like jewels.
But as it turns out, a rosy wolf snail faced with the choice will almost always opt for an easier, smaller target, a snail about its own size or less.The rosy wolf snails favored the native tree snails so hard, nobody even noticed what was happening until it was much too late. 750 species of tree snail dwindled in just a couple years down to only around 40, and in most cases, less than 100 of each species remain alive - all in captivity.Other environmental issues and invasive species contributed, but none quite like the wolf snails.

Now let’s talk about the order / where do I start?
As I mentioned earlier, ideally the way to start is by watching chronologically from the first music video uploaded to their most recent music video. 
The problem with this is that some people did not like the early sound of Loona, which is innocent and ballad-heavy, so they missed out on the later releases which were darker and dancier. So I will suggest a couple recs to get you started then you can decide if this is a group you will stan and you can commit the time to watch from first solo to their most recent debut videos.
Love4eva ft. Grimes (this is the 3rd or latest subunit song. and YES! GRIMES.. talent recognizes talent. if you got confused by the story of this video then that’s to be expected since it’s part of the lore 😆)
Heart Attack (gay anthem, the top 1 most requested song for Seoul pride 2018)
Eclipse (NASA featured this in their solar eclipse playlist last 2017)
Singing in The Rain (Loona’s highest viewed solo to date so it must be their most popular atm)
Love&Live (the first subunit song. if you loved this one then you shouldn’t have a problem watching Loona videos chronologically and begin from HeeJin’s video 😄)
Girl Front (2nd subunit song and one of Loona’s popular songs. girl crush concept)
One & Only (my fave solo since I’m Go Won biased [kpop slang for fave])
favOriTe (lead single as the complete group. sound reminds of the 2nd subunit sound.. girl crush)
Hi High (OFFICIAL DEBUT SINGLE)
And here’s a good post that gives more points why Loona is such a special group and gives more reasons to stan them
If you watched all of these recs or one of these recs and you loved them then you can try and start from the beginning! If you didn’t like 1/3′s song or the concept isn’t for you (which is sad cause i love them and they are underrated imo)… then you can begin from Kim Lip’s video then go chronologically from there. After you’re caught up, you can start from the beginning and finish 1/3′s arc. :)
NOW LET’S ENTER THE LOONAVERSE!

OZ-06MSFT Leo Atet
A prototype Leo augmented with an experimental flight pack. It was engineered with the hopes that it could replicate the extreme speeds reachable by the OZ-00MS Tallgeese. However, the thrusters were found to be not as powerful as the Tallgeese, and just as destructive to the personal heath of the Mobile Suit’s pilot. It was also equipped with an experimental Beam Rifle, created by analyzing the one used by the XXXG-001W Wing Gundam, but overheats easily and requires several minutes to cool down between each shot.
The Mobile Suit plant where the Leo Atet was being stored was destroyed during the OZ coup d’état, and it was acquired by the 255th Leo Division during a salvaging operation.
The Details: Finally finished my third Leo. This one is a fully brush painted build using a Leo NPD as its base, repurposes pieces from the HG Wing Gundam Fenice, Gundam Portent, and Meteor Hopper, and the color scheme is inspired by the AGE-3 Orbital.
Overall, this is the first time I’ve fully brush painted a Gunpla, and I think it turned out pretty good. It’s also the first time I’ve ever stuck a piece into place using glue (those leg fins), and that wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be. I’ve already got an idea for my next Leo, and it should be a bit more challenging than this one.
3/15 Complete

WIP Mad Max style custom Hizack. its got a few parts salvaged from an SD char zaku 2, and I really like the juxtaposition of the huge parts to the small. Also I gave it a beam halberd that I crafted using a runner part and the forearm of gundam rose .  Its my first time trying anything like this, and I am very excited about the way its turning out. Last pic is the original kit (not mine, just stock from someone else)  for comparison.
