#a carnivore’s inquiry

Tumblr media
that fluffy , penciled brow is raised in a sharp angle . lips threatening to purse with distaste with a twitch at those plush , glossy folds . indeed , so shiny are her ruddy lips that they almost serve a mirror to the carnivorous gluttony before her that's put her off her appetite . while there's no white lacquer to her own pout , it dazzles in imitation as they reflect the meringue currently affixed to sebastian's mouth like little fallen snowflakes that have yet to melt . " trying to win a competition ? " she offers her inquiry ( read: snide analysis ) all blasé as if he and his father hadn't just gotten into an argument before the maids provided this sugary band-aid to some particularly choice words ; as rupert left , it had her split mind curious for what was to come of her night in that event . mink lashes flutter like butterfly's wings . it's certainly not the first chaos she's seen since marrying in . sharply , the crisp snap of her fingers make her animation present . " oh ! that's it . that's what you remind me of , certainly . [ ... ] when you dove head first into our wedding cake . how charming . "

In the mood for a Fic...
~*~
1. I am in the mood for fics with temporary character death! Either A) where either wwx or lwj die but come back (in some way other than canon), or B) it *appears* that one of them died, but they actually didn't. Basically, I want these two put through the absolute emotional wringer and having to deal with the other's death, before getting a happy ending. Thank you so much! Love this blog so much. You are doing the heavens' work! @i-ship-therefore-i-am

4. sooo got any recs for wwx wielding zidian? thank you a bunch ♥️♥️
❤️By Any Other Name by ShanaStoryteller (Not Rated, 31k, Wangxian, Canon Divergence, Crossdressing, Misunderstandings, Identity Porn, Identity reveal, [PODFIC] By Any Other Name by sakizar)
many envies by newamsterdam (T, 21k, JC & WWX, Background WangXian, Night Hunting, Ghosts, Action/Adventure, Reconciliation, Brotherly Love, Complicated Relationships, Cultivation as Plot Device, Novel Spoilers, Post-Canon, Yunmeng Shuangjie) the climax has WWX wielding Zidian and JC wielding Sandu *and* Suibian. Best read after its predecessor, murky waters
Silver & Gold by beeswaxing  (E, 162k, wangxian, post-canon, de-aging, fluff & angst, happy ending, fix-it of sorts, family bonding, established relationship, non-sexual intimacy, BAMF WWX, pining, protective WWX)
I have like half an answer for question 4. There is this fic where JC travels back in time, and convinces his father to kill the Wens who are sleeping after WN drugged them, WWX opposes, because there is no honor in that, but they still do it. At some point, Zidian goes to WWX, and JC says he doesn't want a traitor of a spiritual tool, they also leave WWX with WN. I think that is the fic, but I don't know name
Falling Lotus Petals by Hauntcats (Not Rated, 9k, WIP, JC & WWX, WangXian, Canon JC Characteristics, Not Jiang Family Friendly, Time Travel Fix-It, Angst with a Happy Ending, No Golden Core Transfer) the person who described a story for #4 was probably thinking of this fic

6. You know what? I just realized something: when WWX died, he was only in his early 20s and when he came back to life, well, he didn't necessarily age. I'd like to know, do you have any fanfics recs that address this "problem"? Or Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng have moments, when WWX acts his age, that make them realize that WWX is still the twenty year old boy who died on that cliff? Please?

7. Hi! For a future itmf could I get recs for fics where LWJ and the peacock are besties? I've read a couple and they were ridiculous and hilarious but don't know how to go about finding them. Modern AUs are a plus but not required. Thanks!

8. Curious, any fics where lwj takes in a-yuan/tries to protect the wen remnants simply because he found out about it and it was the right thing to do and he happened to be there? And not because of knowing and/or having feelings for wwx? He adopts and hides an orphan JUST because they are innocent and its the only way to save them, and then grows to love them? With possibly no or other ships besides wangxian? Lwj on same path but as stranger/outsider?

13. So! I read Choices by snowberryrose and for a future in the mood for I was wondering if there were any other fics like that? Where jyl DOESNT go with the jins during the hunt. It's fine if it still ends as jiang yanli/jin zixuan but I'd like to see jyl sticking to her words and choosing her brothers first. (Also I absolutely love jyl sticking up for herself and ending up in a different relationship or even no relationship at all. Sorry jin zixuan!) I'd still like it if wangxian was more of the focus but if that's not possible I'd understand! Thank you so much!

Main protagonist of Beyond The Fogbound Unknowing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Zelutjoskhriva Mnelothuszria Etraklodinus Kirsevothazund is a 147-year-old intimidating and efficient Nephilim beast-slayer that silently roams the land. He’s often referred to as The Roaming Consumption because he eats the organs of his freshly deceased targets and drinks their blood. He has a very careful eye, ensuring that his movements aren’t being followed or some other event that will greatly hinder him and his mission. He’s aware of his surroundings and the potential risks associated with his job, helping him to make worthwhile decisions and uphold survival. Zelutjoskhriva is a taciturn man, only speaking to others either through asking questions, remarks, warnings, or simply responding to their inquiries. His impenetrable silence usually makes him a good listener, and is often viewed as a trustworthy and reliable member of Venator’s Wardrobe because of that. However, that’s only when he’s not in deep contemplation or distracted with other more important matters. Despite that, his excellent listening skills can help him to thoroughly understand a situation or a person’s circumstances. With this, he can utilise his emotional intelligence and wisdom to make connections and/or resolve a problem through conversation. He has a decent photographic memory, which is very helpful during investigations on sudden Æylphitus attacks. 
He shows a strong desire to keep his community, friends, coworkers, family (his daughter to be more specific), and those who he views as vulnerable safe from injury or damage. He has very high respect for women and the matriarchy, and believes that chauvinism is a plague on both sexes. Zelutjoskhriva is very compliant with the orders and certain requests he’s given and expected to perform. He has astonishing resource management skills, helping him to be prepared and well-organised before performing his duties. He can be somewhat snarky towards those he can care less about, making him come off as a rudely critical person. He’s stoic and down-to-earth, being able to endure hardship without showing a hint of how he feels and having a firm grip on reality. However, his palpable stoicism can make him feel uncomfortably ruthless and unbending. During his darkest hours, he feels like nothing but a mere shadow in the presence of others. He questions why he was born and if he should continue moving on with his life. He secretly feels useless and left behind by his peers and coworkers, yearning to be properly recognised beyond first impressions. He tends to feel guilt-ridden and hopeless, becoming less motivated to move on. He can also get fairly irritable and intolerable with other people, which often leads to aggressive threats and angry outbursts. He doesn’t have the greatest self-esteem, which often leads him to being extremely critical of himself and downplaying his positive qualities.
He is one of the shorter known Nephilim to ever grace the multiverse, appearing to be approximately 7’ 8” (233.68 cm). Zelutjoskhriva has a milky white complexion, rough skin, and noticeably muscular, mesomorphic build, possessing a powerful frame and broad shoulders. He has a large, distinguishable birthmark that’s a lovely shade of purple tanzanite. It partially covers the right side of his face and a small portion of his upper neck. He has a medium-sized, pointed tongue and angelic saliva glands that can burn naturally sinful things. Like all Nephilim, he has feathery patches of wisteria, fountain blue, yellow-orange, and red-violet adorning his form, which can be seen on his back, chest, crotch, and outer thighs. His coarse hands possess razor-sharp claws and he has bone-crushing, carnivorous teeth. His left eye is a pink lavender with a poppy red iris with a saffron dot in the middle, while his right eye is cloudy shadow green. Zelutjoskhriva has long, curly hair that reaches slightly over the middle of his back and is a greying Indian khaki to petite orchid, but it’s often braided or up in a ponytail. His secret bodily weakness or physical Achilles’ heel is the radius bone, which is part of the skeletal system.
He’s often seen wearing his iconic wide-brimmed traveller’s hat, one that is the hue of black onyx. His long, glossy black cloak has a high, pointed collar as well as the metallic green and violet sheen of a Eurasian magpie. He usually covers his entire being (except his head) with this darkened cloak, which helps him to conceal any weapons and keep a low profile. In order to hide his partial blindness and most of his birthmark, he wears a theatrical mask of polished brass, one that has an eerily blank, neutral expression. Whenever he pulls back his cloak, it’s revealed that he wears a fancy waistcoat of wisteria blooms with a golden lapel chain. His waistcoat is worn over an alabaster dress shirt and a silky, striped necktie of powder blue, royal yellow, and mantis green. Zelutjoskhriva also wears a lavish pair of formal cinereous trousers with vertical, platinum grey stripes. He possesses a nazar amulet that a friend gave him, two bandoliers that form an X-shape, and a handgun holster, which is attached to his belt. He also wears a kyanite thumb ring on his left hand, a rose quartz solitaire on his right index finger, and an ametrine signet on his left middle finger.
He’s commonly seen carrying a large cross of rosewood with a shoulder strap and two nailed corpses on each side, one is feminine and the other is masculine. These humanoid corpses are cut in half and have a clear, marbled stone in the middle of their chests, which are white (female) and black (male) respectively. These stones hold the spiritual psyche of Thuszemona and Uyrszamen, two Gorclatenius who act as his servants. He carries a few items on his person, which consists of a golden pocket watch, a pack of minty cigars, a glaive, and two firearms. His first weapon of choice is a cursed, two-handed glaive that has a curved, single-edged tapering blade and a 7 ft (213.36 cm) handle. His second is a selective fire, muzzle-loaded submachine long gun with a sling, appearing to be a unique hybrid between a long rifle, flintlock musket, and the PPSh-41, but it has a sling. This particular weapon is half his height and is used to deal heavy damage on his enemies from a distance. The last weapon he wields is a semi-automatic pistol equipped with a silencer and it’s partially modelled after the Desert Eagle. The submachine long gun is called the Dicentra Sulphur WJ6Z4-239057, while the pistol is named the Bleach-Skinned Camelopardalis. Lastly, he has a satchel that he uses to hold onto small souvenirs, a couple of novels, 3 or 4 coals, and a fire-resistant white glove.
Zelutjoskhriva is capable of manipulating his own organic mass, but can only use it to either partially or fully heal his injuries. He can generate force fields that help to prevent incoming attacks, but chooses to use it and the aforementioned ability 2-4 times every second day. This is because it drains a decent chunk of his life energy and he has difficulties controlling his absorption ability. On that note, he can consume the memories, emotions, and life energy of other living creatures. However, as already mentioned, he has trouble utilising absorption because it can overwhelm his senses and leave him paralysed for half a week in some coma-like, epileptic state. His biological senses are significantly more heightened than the average human. His stamina helps him to perform certain physically taxing activities and actions for days on end without worrying about immediate exhaustion. Due to his extraordinary strength, he can lift and even move hundreds of billions of pounds and strike with the force of a hydrogen bomb. He possesses intuition, pattern-solving, information storage and retrieval, logical and philosophical structuring, wisdom, and comprehension that’s beyond the human ability to understand. Zelutjoskhriva is also capable of speaking, writing, and understanding any language he has never heard before. Interestingly enough, his blind eye can detect the auras of other people, sensing their emotions and moral alignment on a visual level. He possesses biokinesis and sancti-pyrokinesis, and he can purify people by touching their lips with hot coal. He uses Thuszemona and Uyrszamen to obtain oracles that are etched into the fabric of the multiverse. He uses their chest stones to perform cleromancy, which is a form of divination by casting lots.

FUN FACTS/EXTRA INFORMATION:
He’s heterosexual
His birthday is May 18th (Taurus)
As an Æylphitus, the different parts of his name have special meanings: Zelutjoskhriva means “distress at a solar eclipse or darkness by midday”, Mnelothuszria means “heaven’s face”, Etraklodinus means “easterly surger”, and Kirsevothazund means “having meager”.
He likes open country, the taste of aged wine, the smell of a new book (bibliosmia), twilight, long forgotten castles, mountainous regions, sage lemon and balm rose-hip tea, amulets that ward off the evil eye, animal trails, and the sounds of cicadas during a hot summer.
He secretly likes autumn the most due to its romantic vibes as well as the crisp and refreshing air.
He dislikes male catkins, blazing hot deserts, vandalism, trespassing, hibiscus and Earl Grey tea, espresso, crunchy leaves, random obnoxious sounds at night, comedy and bad erotica novels, and the smell of burning gasoline.
The reason why he doesn't like espresso is that he tried to drink it out of curiosity, but the taste was too much for his liking. Then the caffeine kicked in and he didn't like the side effects of drinking it, which made him stay awake for an entire day and his anxiety was through the roof. Anyways, he doesn't dare to even take another sip of a cup of coffee after that horrible experience.
He hates obnoxious noises that come from loud and annoying people the most
He doesn’t like extremely hot weather because it makes his skin itchy, especially on his birthmark. So, he likes to stay inside for the most part if it's too hot outside.
His hobbies consist of darts, sudoku, reading novels, writing musical lyrics, and playing the harpsichord. He also likes to collect ties, candles, sheet music, and vintage wine.
He specifically likes to collect wine-scented candles
His favourite animals are the bald-faced hornet, sixgill hagfish, golden jackal, and king vulture.
His favourite flowers are the tulip, wisteria blossoms, Hydrangea aspera, and Jury’s Yellow camellia.
His favourite comfort foods are creamy chicken pesto pasta, coconut curry salmon, vegan shepherd’s pie, strawberry crunch poke cake, and triple-chocolate trifle.
He doesn’t have a favourite colour
His biggest pet peeves are people who are trying to talk to him while he’s reading, sharing unwanted personal details with strangers, not washing hands after using the restroom, arrogance in general, loudly slurping drinks, and stomach-churning smells.
He tried to write his own book once, but he scrapped it because it started to get on his nerves and it was difficult to think of something that’s creatively interesting.
He has a mug with words written on it that says "I'm so fucking tired."
He doesn’t like to talk about his personal life
He secretly needs the approval of other people
Zelutjoskhriva is a very delicate eater and doesn’t like to eat in front of people.
He usually gulps down his drink
He whistles a lot
It’s quite difficult to make him laugh
He flicks people in the forehead when he gets annoyed
Zelutjoskhriva’s guilty pleasure is taking bubble baths with scented candles and drinking multiple shots of whisky on every second weekend.

Sanctuary part two
TW: parasites, referenced murder, animal death, illness, cult escapee, human whumpee, vampire caretaker
Dear diary, the strangest thing happened yesterday. I was taking a stroll on my lands when I heard someone stomping about. I put up signs warning off trespassers, for their own safety. But apparently large signs reading "Keep out: this land is full of diseased parasites and carnivorous beasts" are not effective.
I found the trespasser, a filthy young man and half dead by the looks of him. He tried to scream and run when he saw me, a reasonable course of action, but the effort knocked him over. I obviously had no desire to let him drown in knee deep swamp water, so I picked him up and carried him home.
His flesh was covered in parasites and infected cuts. Fearing for his life, I got him into a bath. I had to fill the tub multiple times to get him adequately clean. I warmed the water over a fire before filling the tub, to offset the chills he had caught. The worst part was getting the leeches off. I rather like leeches, as a rule, only not when they are latched onto someone I'm trying to bathe. I released them back into the swamp. His clothing was not salvageable, so I let him borrow some things of mine. I wasn't sure what to do with his hair. It's not nearly as curly as mine, which I am fully accustomed to. I brushed it out the best I could.
By this point, he was slightly more conscious. Babbling on and on. I could not make heads or tails of his words. As I don't keep food stocked in my pantries, I had to harvest from the orchard. Luckily, much of the fruit is ripe this time of year. I think I will make him jam to keep through the winter. I also caught and butchered a duck. My surprise guest was in much better spirits after gorging himself on food, collapsing into slumber soon after.
I took him up to a guest bedroom and laid him down to sleep. I stayed with him to ensure he did not worsen in his illness. He had horrible nightmares, but I did not wake him. Good sleep is vital to recovery. When he awoke, it was around two in the morning. He had quite the start upon seeing me in the room with him. We got to talking. I discovered his name to be Mordecai. I very much like the sound of it. It is delightful to repeat, like eccentricity or misanthrope. I applaud whoever coined these wonderful words.
But that is beside my point. He broke down weeping, begging me not to send him back. I had no idea where he had traveled from, so I made my inquiries. Apparently, he escaped from some religious order posing a threat to his life. His sister, a girl named Rahab, is still in the temple. I assume their place of worship where the members live would be considered a temple. Mordecai was vague on that point. I could not make out some of his words through the tears, but understood that I could not turn him away.
I did not want to make him feel like a burden, so I allowed him to start being helpful. Well, as soon as he is no longer ill. Not having to hunt and kill humans will be a good change of pace. He agreed immediately, and I left him to rest. I will prepare more food. I used to love cooking, and I hope the skill returns to me in due time.
This is the longest diary entry I have made in some time. I think my life has gotten quite a lot more interesting. I wonder how long modern humans live for.

The Giant (9/16)
------Chapter 9------
Chester woke up the next morning before me, as his belly was grumbling for breakfast since neither of us had eaten the previous night. I awoke to find myself cupped in his hand as he lifted me off his chest.
"Good morning," he yawned, "How are you feeling?"
I winced and rubbed my bandages. "I'm hurting a little bit. What about your head?"
Chester gingerly touched his own bandage. "It's throbbing, but I'll be alright." He nuzzled me gently with his gigantic face. "I'm just glad you're alive."
"All thanks to you for saving me." I patted the bridge of his nose with my hand. "Let's get some breakfast." Chester carried me to the kitchen and set me down on the counter while he whipped up some French toast. "Chester?"
"Hm?" Chester responded to my inquiry as he cracked some eggs.
"What do humans taste like?"
Chester raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Well... each individual human tastes a little different. Some better than others I suppose. Men tend to have more of a hearty flavor, like a very high-quality cut of meat. Women are more likely to be sweeter, like a fine dessert."
"What about me? What do I taste like?"
The giant got a bit flustered at this line of questioning but still answered. "You're a perfect mix of both. Sweet and savory. Probably the best human I've ever eaten." He flushed at this remark and eyed me cagily. The color drained from my face as I realized his mouth was watering, and the look he was giving me was not entirely innocent in intentions.
"We probably shouldn't discuss this topic while I'm hungry," Chester added hurriedly, averting his eyes and turning his attention back to his cooking. I silently agreed and continued watching him without speaking. Soon enough he completed the task and piled up a mountain of food on a huge platter. Almost without thinking, he placed me on top of the stack and carried the plate to the dining room table. I felt a twinge of alarm at this development. After the horrors of the day before I wasn't ready to be eaten again, not this soon. Was he expecting me to comply with his desires? I wasn't sure.
As soon as he set the plate down, I scrambled off the mound of food and onto the safer area of the table. The giant acknowledged my action with a curt nod and cut off a piece of French toast for me to munch on. He also gave me a monstrous blueberry that was the size of a beanbag chair. Sighing in relief that I was not about to be devoured, I ate my breakfast while he dug into his meal with his usual voracity. I appreciated that he was willing to respect my wishes in spite of his carnivorous urges. Not to mention, it was mostly my fault that I had warmed up his appetite in the first place with my naïve questions. I made a mental note never to broach the subject before the giant was about to eat.
Once Chester had thoroughly cleaned his plate, we went to his study so he could get some writing done. I picked one of my new magic books to read and Chester opened it to the first page for me, then got to typing. The book was written by giant scholars who could not themselves use magic, so it was mostly secondhand information gleaned from old documents, witness accounts, and interviews with human wizards in the distant past, who may or may not have been under duress when passing along the information, with some speculation thrown in. From what I read, there were lots of different types of magic and spells. Not every human was capable of using magic, and even those who could may not be able to cast all categories of spells. The individual had to have a particular aptitude, or consume a special concoction that would grant him magical power. Additionally, a new magic user required the use of a special object such as a staff or wand to channel energy.
Essentially, most magic could be broken down into traditional elemental classifications, such as fire, lightning, water, ice, earth, wind, light, and shadow. There were other oddball categories like blood and metal as well. Even if the spell itself did not explicitly express an element, the underlying type of magic involved had some sort of elemental basis. For example, a healing spell might have light or blood magic as a base, depending on the spellcaster's aptitude.
The book contained a list of ingredients and known methods by which a human could obtain magical abilities. As I scanned through them, I noticed that many were extremely specific and wildly impractical, or were things I had never heard of: for instance, metal magic required a mysterious substance called "milk of magnesia." Interestingly enough, the power of lightning could be unlocked by getting struck with magical lightning, which had happened to me when I was transported to the Land of Giants. So, lightning may be a good choice for me to start with. Blood magic looked like another promising option, since it necessitated the human in question to drink the blood of a giant or unicorn--obviously the former was readily available, not so much the latter.
According to the text, for a novice such as myself, a magical object would still be needed for me to access my potential powers. The book provided a catalogue of materials that would suffice to craft such an object, none of which I recognized. Perhaps Chester would know. Alternatively, magical powers could manifest in circumstances when the spellcaster was under extreme duress or in a life-threatening situation. The aspiring wizard would need to practice drawing out their powers with meditation or chants beforehand. A combination of all these methods may be required for some people, if they were not naturally inclined to using magic.
Since the book was written for giants, not humans, it had pertinent information for them as well. The book sternly cautioned against eating wizards alive, since their abilities were dangerous enough to destroy a giant from the inside. Apparently in the past some scholars had theorized that giants could gain magical powers from consuming human wizards, but this belief was proven false, as no giant had ever been able to use magic, even after filling their bellies with wizards. I took some comfort in the fact that if I ever did learn to use magic, I could save myself from being digested if a giant swallowed me again, a circumstance that seemed likely given I had already been eaten twice now. I was extremely lucky to still be alive at this point.
Engrossed in my book, I failed to notice that Chester had ceased typing and was watching me read, until he gave a small cough to get my attention. I turned around and craned my head back to look up at him.
"Learn anything interesting?" he asked me with a slight tilt of his head.
"Absolutely," I answered enthusiastically. "Actually, I wanted to ask you about something on one of the previous pages over here." Chester observed as I walked over to the opposite side of the book and struggled to turn back the oversized pages. With a small smile, he reached out his giant hand and flipped to the page I wanted with minimal effort.
"Here." I pointed to the materials for crafting a magical object. "Do you know what any of these are?" Chester perused the list with a furrowed brow.
"Most of these I'm not familiar with," he admitted as he skimmed the page. "However..." He planted his finger, thick as a tree trunk, on one of the entries. "This one here. Lapis lazuli. It's a type of stone, should be pretty easy for us to get."
"Great. If I obtain that stone, I could make a necklace or bracelet with it. Then I might be able to use magic," I explained to Chester.
"Ok." He paused for a moment. "Do you want me to go to the market now to buy some? You probably shouldn't come with me though..." His face fell.
"Y-yeah, that's fine. Definitely for the best," I replied quietly. As I recalled the horrible memories of that last encounter, I couldn't stop myself from quaking uncontrollably. In response, Chester reached down and cradled me in his hands.
"Shhhh, it's okay. You're safe now. I'll protect you," the giant cooed in a soothing voice. He pressed his plush lips against me in a soft kiss. "I won't let anything happen to you." I nodded, blinking back tears. He held me against his chest for a few minutes, rocking back and forth gently. Once I calmed down, he put me back on the desk and opened another book for me to read. Then, he left the house, which felt eerily quiet without his massive form moving around. I settled in and began reading while I waited for him to come back.
I'm not sure how much time passed, because I was immersed in my books again, but I did notice that the sky was becoming soft outside and Chester still hadn't returned. The other book I had been reading went into details about specific spells, the type of magic required for their use, and how to cast them. Apparently, spells were not truly based on fancy hand movements or incantations: These devices could aid a wizard in visualizing a spell in his mind, but were not actually a part of the spell. Mostly the process involved drawing up the correct form of magic and willing it to life through force of mind. Sounded mysterious.
I decided to try some of the tips given for magical meditation. All of the books so far confirmed that force of mind or will would strengthen with focused introspection. I laid down on my back, closed my eyes, and daydreamed for a while. I must have fallen asleep because next thing I knew I heard the front door open and close. Chester walked into the study carrying a bag of fast food. Immediately I noticed he seemed off. His face was pale, he had a new bruise on his forearm, and his clothes looked ruffled.
"What happened Chester? Are you okay?"
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." He sounded tired. I decided not to push the issue. The giant brought his hand down and lifted me up so I was still lying flat in his palm. I looked up at him with dreamy eyes. Even when he looked disheveled, I still found him strikingly handsome. He was deep in thought and distracted, not focused on me. Rather than eating in the dining room like we usually did, Chester went to the living room and plopped down on the couch, kicking up his feet on the coffee table. He dropped me on the couch next to him and turned on the TV. He dug into the bag of fast food and stuffed a handful of greasy fries into his mouth. After handing me a piece of fry and a chunk of his burger, he wolfed down more fries and demolished the rest of the burger. I ate my food in silence and watched him with concern. While it was normal for the giant to eat aggressively, he appeared to be distressed in some way. I debated internally whether to ask him about his mood, but he was the one who spoke first.
"Jackie, why do you want to learn magic so much?"
I was not expecting this question but realized there much be some weight to it, considering his mood. I chose my words carefully but answered honestly. "Learning magic is the only way for me to get back to the human world where I belong."
"I see." There was a long pause. I searched his face high above me and to my surprise he looked dreadfully sad. Almost as if he would cry. He tried to hide it by quickly standing up and mumbling something about needing to wash the grease off his hands. He went to the kitchen and left me alone on the couch. Since I was so small compared to the furniture, I couldn't see him at all over the arm of the couch. What was he so upset about? I didn't understand.
When he came back into the room, I expected him to sit back down on the couch, but instead he turned off the TV and remained on his feet. In the darkness I wasn't able to see his expression, just his gargantuan form standing over me. He leaned down and cupped me in his hands. He took me into the bedroom, where we undressed for bed. The pale moonlight coming in through the window gave everything a soft glow. Chester laid on his side and brought me to his chest. I snuggled up to his mountainous frame, enjoying the warm softness of his giant body. He hadn't said a word but I could still tell he was upset. I decided to try talking to him once more.
"Chester, what's wrong? Talk to me."
He didn't answer right away, instead opting to hold me tighter against his chest. I felt his heart rate quicken. Finally, he spoke up. "I don't... I don't want to lose you."
"What do you mean?"
He sighed heavily. "I don't want you to leave. I'm afraid that if you go to the human realm, you won't want to come back, and I'll never see you again."
I looked up at his face. "Chester... you know I can't stay here forever."
He gazed down at me sadly. "I know. I didn't want to tell you, but I ran into that other giant at the market again. That's why I came home so late. I had to fight him off, and take a roundabout way home so he wouldn't find out where I live."
I shivered at the thought of that horrible giant. Chester sighed again. "I know it's not safe for you in the Land of Giants. I know you have a life back at home, friends and family. I have no doubts that you would be better off living with your kind. But..." He swallowed hard. "You have to understand, I was so lonely, living up here by myself in the woods all this time. And then you came along, a blessing from the sky, a tiny little woman who could fit in the palm of my hand. So sweet and kind, even forgiving me when I had a lapse in judgement and swallowed you. I guess what I'm trying to say is... I think I'm in love with you."
I stared up at Chester in shock. I had secretly harbored feelings for him, but I didn't think he would seriously consider me, an insignificant little human, as a love interest. While he had given me obvious signs of his love, I had dismissed them as wishful thinking on my part and forced down my own feelings. The idea of a human and a giant in a romantic relationship was absurd, and I had felt ashamed of myself for even entertaining it. And yet... his big heart had mirrored mine the whole time.
I jumped out of his hand and clambered up his pillow to his face. When I reached his full lips, I gave him a passionate kiss, the best I could muster despite the vast size difference between us. Even in the moonlight I could see the bloom of pink on his cheeks in response.
"Oh Chester... I love you too! More than anything! I didn't know you felt the same way," I confessed breathlessly. "You need not fear, I won't abandon you." I climbed onto the side of his face and nuzzled his cheek. "Just because I want to see my family doesn't mean I won't come back. After all, if I'm able to manifest portals I should be able to go back and forth as I please."
Chester raised his hand to his face and caressed me with his fingers. "Thank you... I feel so much better now." His eyes were glassy with tears. I curled up on his cheek, under the warmth of his hand, and petted the side of his face. With our hearts full, we fell asleep together.

Do you think the cats would have ever done autopsies at any point in their history? I feel like it could be oneof the explainations as to how ther medical capabilities wiuld have improved. However idk how theyd feel about that religiously and or socially.
I think it's pretty likely. Clan cats don't have the same taboos against inquiry that Christianity did. Not to mention that as a hunting society full of obligate carnivores, it's pretty common to just see organs on a regular basis.
I imagine it was especially common in the distant past, around the Dawn of the Clans, when all the medicine cats were Moth Flight and her direct children. ThunderClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, and WindClan wouldn't have too many issues with their medics learning more things together, as long as they came back (since they were 'rightfully stolen') at the end of the day.

Former Arrangements - Chapter 19 Post!
Stepping up to the doors, a deep breath through his nostrils gave him every bit of information he needed. “Found ya, you smelly bastard.” With a kick to the middle of the frame, the doors flew off the hinges and slammed onto the tile flooring, cracking it. The lone male inside let out a squeal of fright and cowered behind the desk, his sweaty face peered over the expensive mahogany wood. “Y-you,” the older man stuttered, then cleared his throat. “You sir, are a member of Eclipse Nexus?” The lift at the end of his inquiry sounded less natural than a salad at a carnivore banquet, Gajeel decided. He grinned at the obvious fear of his target.
Chapter 19 is finally up! Been a bit longer to get this posted than I wanted since my sleep phase of my meds hit me harder than I thought. Since last weekend, all I have been doing is sleeping.
Can't wait until I am awake all the time again unable to think about anything else but things I could be doing besides sleep!
Hope you all enjoy this next chapter!
Things will be coming to a close soon, a few more chapters and things will be wrapping up. Thank you for sticking with me!

Chapter 5.5 - Hello to Heron
Fomalhaut Empire Ecological Notes
Greetings,
I am Heron, an ecologist devoted in my life to deciphering the most enigmatic of life that blankets our Fomalhaut. In my pursuit of knowledge, I traverse varied landscapes, from the deep dangers of The Great Ravine, to the stark, endless expanse of the Psamathe Desert, driven by an unyielding dedication to understanding the intricate relationships between Fomalhaut's organisms and its environments.
As an ecologist within Fomalhaut, my role is multifaceted. I am a diligent observer of wildlife, meticulously documenting the behaviours and interactions of animal species both great and small. I am a steward of the natural world, advocating for the conservation of biodiversity and the preservations of fragile ecosystems in our nation. I am a scholar, delving into the depths of scientific inquiry to unravel the complexities of life within Fomalhaut. 
In my boundless quest for knowledge, I invite you, dear reader, to accompany me on a journey of discovery across our wondrous nation. Together, let us delve into the secrets of Fomalhaut's natural world, unlocking mysteries that have long eluded even the Empire's understanding.
Yours in curiosity,
Heron

Hive Hares
Location: Outskirts of Wickerswich 
Subject: Encounter with Hive Hares
Today’s expedition brought forth a peculiar and enthralling encounter within the verdant embrace of the forests that encircle the quaint town of Wickerswich. As an ecologist of the Empire, ever enthralled by the myriad secrets of the natural world of Fomalhaut, I found myself drawn deeper into the depths of these woodlands, eager to uncover the mysteries that lie concealed amidst the rustling leaves.
My attention was quickly captivated by the presence of a most curious creature - the elusive Hive Hare. These diminutive beings, resembling ordinary rabbits at first glance, belie a sinister nature beneath their façade of innocent charm. With their soft fur and endearing features, one could be forgiven for mistaking them as harmless inhabitants of the forest. However, as I soon discovered, the truth is far more ominous.
The Hive Hares, as their name suggests, exhibit remarkable social behaviour reminiscent of their insectoid counterparts. They gather in large colonies within intricately constructed burrows, forming cohesive communities that operate with a hive-like efficiency. Indeed, their ability to coordinate their actions with near telepathic precision is proof of the evolution of their complex social structures.
But it is their carnivorous tendencies that truly set the Hive Hares apart from their benign rabbit kin. Through cunning deception, they lure unsuspecting prey - including, to my horror, humans - into their midst, using their irresistibly adorable appearance as a guise for their nefarious intentions.
As I observed the Hive Hares from a safe distance, I couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of their hunting tactics. From their mesmerizingly innocent gaze to their playful antics, they weave a web of deceit that ensnares even the most wary of travellers. These cunning creatures have the impeccable ability to deceive even the most formidable of predators and prey.
Furthermore, my observations of the Hive Hares have unveiled a curious pattern in their distribution across the forests surrounding both Wickerswich and Prosperia. While initially believed to be confined solely to the woodlands encircling Wickerswich, recent reports indicate their presence extending to the outskirts of Prosperia as well.
Yet, amidst the intrigue and danger that surrounds the Hive Hares, there lies a deeper mystery waiting to be unravelled. What drives these creatures to such morbid behaviour? What ecological role do these hares play within the balance of the Fomalhaut ecosystem? These questions linger in my mind, igniting a spark of curiosity that furthers me into the study of Fomalhaut's fauna.
As the sun dips below the horizon and the shadows lengthen, I reluctantly bid farewell to the world of the Hive Hares. With each new discovery, I inch closer to unlocking the enigma that shrouds these elusive creatures, driven by a fervent desire to unravel the mysteries of the natural world.
Until our paths cross again, dear diary, may the forest's secrets continue to beckon, guiding me ever deeper into the heart of its untamed wilderness.
Yours in curiosity,
Heron

Why Is My Cat Always Hungry: Decoding the Enigma Unraveling the Mystery
Tumblr media
Understanding the persistent hunger exhibited by our feline companions is a challenge faced by many cat owners. The relentless meowing, pleading eyes, and constant search for food can leave owners puzzled and concerned. In this thorough investigation, we dive into the mind-boggling universe of cat hunger, meaning to unwind the secret behind the inquiry, "Why is my cat always hungry?" For pet people, this isn't simply an issue of bother; it's about dependable consideration and guaranteeing the prosperity of our cherished felines. From their evolutionary past as obligate carnivores to the complex interplay of medical, behavioral, and environmental factors, we embark on a journey to decipher the signals our cats are sending us through their insatiable appetite.
Understanding Feline Hunger
Evolutionary Perspective: Cats, as obligate carnivores, have retained their ancestral dietary preferences, shaping their feeding behavior. Millennia of evolution have ingrained in them the need for a specific diet rich in animal proteins. This evolutionary lens allows us to appreciate the inherent traits that contribute to their unique hunger patterns. Natural Feeding Patterns: Cats exhibit a preference for small, frequent meals—a behavior rooted in their hunting instincts. This approach aligns with their evolutionary history, emphasizing the importance of regular, manageable portions. Understanding these natural inclinations is pivotal to deciphering the reasons behind a cat's perpetual hunger.
The Significance of a Balanced Diet
Nutritional Requirements: A cat's diet goes beyond mere quantity; it hinges on the quality of nutrients. Protein, in particular, emerges as a cornerstone for their health and satiety. Recognizing the nutritional needs specific to cats is the first step in addressing the constant hunger conundrum. Consequences of Nutrient Deficiency: Inadequate nutrients in a cat's diet can trigger an increased appetite as the body strives to compensate for the deficiencies. This section explores the repercussions of a poorly balanced diet, shedding light on how nutrient-rich meals are fundamental to curbing incessant hunger cues.
Medical Factors Contributing to Increased Appetite
Diabetes Mellitus: Disruptions in a cat's metabolism due to diabetes can lead to heightened hunger. Understanding the symptoms, diagnostic processes involving blood tests and urinalysis, and potential treatments are crucial in managing a cat's appetite in such cases. Hyperthyroidism: An overactive thyroid can elevate a cat's metabolic rate, resulting in increased hunger. This section delves into the diagnostic methods, such as blood tests, and explores potential interventions to address hyperthyroidism-induced appetite spikes. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD):  Aggravation in the gastrointestinal tract can prompt supplement malabsorption and expanded hunger. Diagnosis through blood tests, ultrasounds, and biopsies is examined, providing insights into managing hunger related to IBD. Pancreatic Diseases: Conditions like exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) can disrupt digestive enzyme secretion, causing increased hunger. Diagnostic tests, such as TLI blood tests, and interventions to manage hunger in cases of pancreatic diseases are explored. Parasites: Intestinal parasites, like tapeworms, consume nutrients, leading to constant hunger. Diagnosis through stool tests and deworming medications is discussed, emphasizing the importance of addressing parasitic influences on a cat's appetite. Aging-related Changes: As cats age, alterations in their digestive system can result in increased hunger. Distinguishing age-related changes from potential health issues is crucial to ensuring a balanced approach to managing appetite in older cats. Understanding these medical factors enables pet owners to identify potential health issues triggering constant hunger, prompting timely veterinary intervention and tailored treatments.
Behavioral and Environmental Influences
Boredom, Loneliness, and Depression: Understanding the intricate elements of why a cat is consistently hungry, or as such, 'Why is my cat always hungry,' requires a complex methodology. Cats, especially indoor ones, may show expanded hunger as a reaction to fatigue, dejection, or despondency. In this part, we investigate the mental viewpoints impacting a cat's craving, underlining the significance of perceiving social signals that indicate close to home requirements as opposed to genuine yearning. Interpreting the mystery of a cat's consistent craving includes cautious perception and mediation to address these fundamental profound variables. Feeding Habits and Food Quality: The quality of a cat's food directly impacts its hunger levels. Poor-quality diets lacking essential nutrients can contribute to constant hunger. This segment delves into the signs of malnutrition, emphasizing the need for a balanced and nutritious diet to satiate a cat's hunger appropriately. Overfeeding and Free-Feeding Practices: Offering unrestricted access to food or overfeeding can disrupt a cat's natural hunger cues, resulting in apparent perpetual hunger. This section explores the consequences of free-feeding, highlighting the importance of moderation and balanced portions in preventing overeating. Environmental Changes and Stress: Changes in a cat's environment or stressful situations can significantly affect their eating habits. This could include relocations, new pets, or disruptions in routine. We discuss stress-induced eating, its impact on overconsumption, and strategies to manage stress-related hunger effectively. Understanding how these behavioral and environmental factors influence a cat's hunger is crucial for responsible pet ownership. Addressing these aspects through environmental enrichment, proper feeding practices, and stress management can help regulate a cat's appetite, enhancing overall well-being.
Managing and Preventing Overeating
Portion Control and Scheduled Feeding: Implementing portion control by measuring food accurately is essential for regulating a cat's calorie intake. This part stresses the significance of keeping suggested rules in view of elements like age, weight, and movement level. Scheduled meals, divided into smaller portions, discourage overeating and help maintain a consistent eating routine. Nutritionally Balanced Diet: Ensuring a cat receives a balanced diet with high-quality, nutrient-rich food is crucial for managing hunger. Consultation with a veterinarian to tailor the diet based on factors like age, health issues, and dietary preferences is explored, highlighting the role of high-protein diets in supporting satiety. Interactive Feeding Methods: Incorporating food puzzles or toys that dispense small amounts of food during playtime engages a cat's natural hunting instincts. This section explores how interactive feeding methods stimulate mental and physical activity, preventing boredom-induced overeating. Environmental Enrichment: Enriching a cat's environment with climbing structures, scratching posts, and interactive toys is essential for mental stimulation. This not only alleviates boredom but also reduces stress, diverting the cat's focus from food. The role of environmental enrichment in managing a cat's appetite is explored in detail. Consistent Routine and Attention: Maintaining a regular feeding schedule and allocating time for play and interaction are crucial aspects of managing a cat's appetite. Engaging with the cat through play sessions or interactive activities fulfills their need for attention, reducing emotional eating tendencies. Monitoring and Professional Guidance: Regular assessments of a cat's weight, behavior, and feeding habits are essential for the early detection of issues. If persistent overeating or weight gain is observed, consulting a veterinarian becomes imperative. Veterinarians can provide tailored advice, conduct health assessments, and recommend suitable dietary adjustments or behavioral interventions.
Conclusion: Why Is My Cat Always Hungry
"Understanding the intricate dynamics of why a cat is consistently hungry, or in other words, Why is my cat always hungry, requires a multifaceted approach. From exploring the impact of medical conditions like diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and gastrointestinal problems to understanding the nuances of behavioral cues related to boredom or emotional needs, decoding the mystery involves careful observation, assessment, and intervention. Each section of this comprehensive exploration contributes to a holistic understanding of feline hunger. The complexities range from evolutionary traits influencing natural feeding patterns to medical factors that demand timely veterinary intervention. Behavioral and environmental influences shed light on the importance of creating a conducive living space, addressing stressors, and recognizing emotional needs. Managing and preventing overeating in cats involves a proactive approach. Portion control, a nutritionally balanced diet, interactive feeding methods, environmental enrichment, and a consistent routine with ample attention are key components of responsible pet ownership. Regular monitoring, coupled with professional guidance from veterinarians, ensures early detection of potential issues, facilitating timely interventions for a cat's well-being. In conclusion, every cat is unique, and understanding their individual needs and behavioral patterns is paramount. Regular veterinary check-ups, tailored dietary plans, and an enriched living space contribute significantly to a cat's overall health and well-being. By combining vigilance, a proactive approach, and tailored care, pet owners can help their feline companions thrive, leading contented lives free from the burden of constant hunger. Through these measures, a harmonious and enriched bond between pet and owner is fostered, promoting a healthier lifestyle for both. Remember, decoding the mystery of a cat's constant hunger is not just about feeding—it's about nurturing a fulfilling and joyful relationship with our beloved feline friends.

Can Cats Eat Beets? A Nutritious and Delicious Treat for Feline Friends
Discovering whether cats can eat beets is a common inquiry among cat owners seeking to share the vibrant world of vegetables with their feline companions. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the nutritional aspects of beets, the potential benefits and risks associated with feeding them to cats, and how to introduce this colorful root vegetable safely. Continue reading to gain insights into whether cats can and should include beets in their diet.
Tumblr media
Beets: A Sweet and Nutritious Delight
Beets, also known as beetroot, stand out as sweet and nutritious root vegetables packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The vivid purple hue of beets comes from betalains, plant pigments known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. While humans enjoy benefits like improved blood flow and reduced blood pressure, the question arises: Can Cats Eat Beets? Let's explore.
Introduction to the Singapura Cat Breed
Can Cats Eat Beets? Beets, the underground-growing root vegetables, come in various colors such as red, purple, or golden. Rich in fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, vitamin C, and iron, beets offer health benefits to humans, including support for heart health and exercise performance. Given the rise in the popularity of juicing and incorporating beets into recipes, cat owners ponder the safety and health implications of sharing this veggie with their feline friends. The answer to whether cats can eat beets is nuanced, balancing nutritional benefits and potential risks.
Can Cats Eat Beets? Unveiling the Answer
In simple terms, cats can indeed eat beets safely and derive nutritional value from this vegetable. When offered in small, occasional amounts, beets are non-toxic and may even provide health benefits to cats. Specifically, beets contain manganese, vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants that can support immune health, digestion, and inflammation in cats when consumed moderately.
However, it's crucial to acknowledge the risks associated with feeding beets to cats. Beets contain oxalates, natural compounds that can crystallize in the urinary tract, leading to kidney stones in cats. Cats with existing kidney issues should avoid beets. Additionally, the high fiber content in beets could cause gastrointestinal upset in some cats if consumed excessively.
Is Beets Safe for Cats? Exploring Feline Interest
Cats, naturally drawn to colorful foods and unique textures, may find the vibrant hue and crunchy nature of raw beets intriguing. However, as obligate carnivores, cats lack the enzymes to digest large amounts of carbohydrates and plant matter. While beets may seem harmlessly appetizing, they come with potential risks. Large quantities could upset a cat's stomach, causing vomiting or diarrhea. It is advisable to start with small taste tests and closely monitor your cat's reaction.
Is Beets Poisonous to Cats? Understanding Potential Dangers
Beets are not inherently toxic to cats in small amounts. However, two compounds found in beets, oxalic acid and nitrates, can pose risks if consumed excessively. Oxalic acid can lead to the formation of crystals and kidney stones over time, while nitrites from nitrates can result in poisoning. Toxicity concerns arise only with the ingestion of a large quantity of beets in a short time. Monitoring your cat closely and limiting beet intake can reduce these risks.
Benefits of Beets for Cats: A Balancing Act
While beets should be an occasional snack, they can offer some nutritional value to cats. In moderation, beets may provide antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that benefit cats. However, a balanced cat diet should primarily emphasize animal-based proteins. Determining the right amount of beets for cats is essential, with recommendations to make up only about 1-5% of their total daily calories.
How to Feed Beets to Cats: A Gentle Approach
Introducing beets to cats requires a careful and gradual approach:
Start with a tiny piece of cooked beet (1 bite or less).
Ensure beets are peeled, chopped, cooked, and cooled.
Mix a small amount into their regular wet cat food.
Avoid raw beets, which are harder to digest.
Gradually increase the amount if no gastrointestinal upset occurs.
Be patient, as cats may ignore beets initially.
Never force-feed; let your cat eat at their own pace.
If symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite occur, cease feeding beets and consult your vet. Slowly introduce new foods and monitor for reactions.
Alternatives and Supplements: Exploring Varied Options
Instead of beets, consider feeding your cat alternative nutritious options:
Carrots: A good source of vitamin A.
Blueberries: Packed with antioxidants.
Broccoli: High in vitamin C and fiber.
Pumpkin: Supports digestion and immunity.
Fish: Provides omega-3 fatty acids.
Meat: The primary staple for obligate carnivores.
Quality cat food brands, such as Wellness Core, Instinct, Taste of the Wild, Orijen, and Solid Gold, offer balanced nutrition for your feline companion.
In Conclusion: Can Cats Eat Beets? Moderation is Key
While occasional tiny portions of cooked beets can provide cats with some nutritional enrichment, moderation is crucial. Collaborate with your veterinarian before making significant dietary changes. As obligate carnivores, cats thrive on a meat-based diet, with vegetables as occasional treats.**

2014. Folk taxonomy in ethnic groups: controversy and nature.
by Tomasz Q. Pietrzak Manuscript. 5 day of february. Gabinet of Natural History Inquiries; educational materials.
Speculation is based on folk taxonomy what is widespread applied by humans elsewhere. Folk taxonomy is common used by investagation known as cryptozoology (see e.g. B. Brent et al. 1966, C. Arment 1995, M. Raynal 1999, L. Rossi pers. comm.). Creatures as east african proteus or black sea snake are in fact different animals that are described as being evil or attacked people or possess for they danger. Creatures of cryptozooogy in great quantity come from natural world. We must get to know about "jumping creatures" that a few animals known as one creature. We call them "few creatures that are one". They are the most dangerous for peculiar ethnic groups and hence called as one. We called them unknown animals, but in fact plenty of them are folk taxonomic approach for scientific known species/ It is folk taxonomy of primary ethnic groups, that not distinguished for something like as false or true. Primary ethnic groups does not distinguish between false and true. They just know (M. Ballot 2012). Some creatures is known as wonderful and dangerous (e.g. cultural creatures). Maimanto, great "rat" that grow under the ground and is in fact folk memory of found skeletons of pleistocene proboscid. There are also "strange animals" that are known by Iraqi people. In fact these are rare animals in the areas and they occur as strange only in folk taxonomy, especially new for mind (W. Bassem 2013). Folk taxonomy is available for yearling and old animals as different ones, as well as pelage forms possess other folk names.
Tumblr media
wild human In nowadays, chuhunna or yabalik-adam are still ethnoknown name for feral humans that are occured in field ( B. Heuvelmand and B. Porshev 1974, S. Nikolaev unpublish. ) They are in most cases genetically the same as other humans in the region, hence it is impossible to distinguish them from other humans. Some wild man is folk name for humans being known as other ethnic or genetically divergent populations. Most of world human populations are involved in domesticated humans. Some of humans are wild or rewilded. They live in primitive conditions. Suppose, wild hairy man, bigfoot or almas was firstly recognized as "the other" primitive hunter-gatherers, more hairy, well-build. In nowadays, greatly they are "only" feral modern humans, for quite well generations of course. Their descriptions was borrowed from "the others" nature. They mated with civilized humans. It is possible also that those rampant feral humans, called as "wild man" are descendants of first human inhabitants of region that are differen each of another. We called them primitive races or more properly distinct populations, e.g. running around, forest dwelling and berry-eating czau-czau, etc. They live in remote or fearful plateaus. Their hairy appearance is not mainly based on appearance but especially feral nature and folk memory changes through time. Nature is holistic creature and "they" or other archaic populations (e.g. neanderthal) live in nowadays within our genes, within us.
Tumblr media
pterosaurus and dinosaurus I am almost sure that kongamoto and olitau are folk names for magnificent and dangerous species of fruit-eating bats living across Africa (I. Sanderson 1972). These are charismatic species with membranous wings and mouths full in sharp teeths. Mokele-mbembe memory are in the fact folk taxonomy of locally now-extinct black rhinoceros and reptile creatures: tortles and monitor lizards that can remint them mokele-mbembe (in lingula culture) or black rhinoceros (in modern culture, BBC reports). Dale Drinnon (2011) rightly pointed out that water "plesiosaur" is turtle-shaped category and biologically is African softshelled turtle (Trionyx triunguis).
Tumblr media
rare creatures in folk memory Existence of unknown carnivores in lost areas of Africa and South America is not so impossible. Because of many yet populations of mammals was not studied before and we discovered quite valuable populations in isolated regions, thus existence of small races with relatively small fangs is more than possible. These animals live in small relict populations are probaly existed yet in areas or more yet to north on swamps e.g. in north-west Africa. They live in very low density and prefer secretive ground or tree-dwelling life style. We had some skin of these carnivores. Remember, they live in very low density (rare as other mammalian carnivores in tropics) as relict endemics. For example, following by the Bernard Heuvelmans (1958) mngwa is in superstition tradition of golden cat increased in size to lion (K. Shuker, unpubl.) I think that golden cat could be rather barely known by natives, and current answer to mngwa is rather night-activity behaviour of striped hyaena, which is different in activity than hyaenas living during at day. Leopons or other large cats are contributed of ancient folk memory.
mapinguary Existed in native folklore as giant standing on two legs with two oral openings, it is supposedly one of the most ferocious creatures destroying track of forest. The legend could be transformed by folklore in long-preserved folk memory of giant sloth. Mystery is simple recognize in fact the opposite to previous arkana relict. Mapinguari is now-only-in-mind creature of folklore that is assigned to be giant anteater standing on back legs, scream of wild pigs and old tribal man living out of villagers (P. Spein 2011).
Tumblr media
water monsters It is know that sea monsters are depiction of fear toward unrecognized resources of water and monstrosity. We, virtually must realize of that creatures inhabit freshwater lakes and rivers, as well as sea monsters as in mostly described by current science or totally non-biological artefacts or only objects floating on the water surface. Some of observed animals could be unknown yet like colosal squid sp., but smaller, non-conspicuously unknown species are barely recognized by accidentaly human observations that its proper taxonomic position or its absence. Some of the less popular water creature is relict snake, dwelling in the Black Sea ( A. Tavritchesky pers comm.).
tatzelwurm It is believed that so-called tatzelwurm, creature of alpine rocks is kind of small predatory mammal. It is quite obvious theory. Some speculate that ferocious and longed, short-legged, cat-headed animal is mustelid unseen by autochtons as they live under night (e.g. otter) and in remote areas at day (e.g. weasel). It is speculated that short-legged mustelids are folk name for tatzelwurm (e.g. Doblhoff-Dier). Karl Meusburger (1931) supposed that by tatzelwurm records are responsible molted or mange mustelids.

Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Two groups of people experienced at dealing with dinosaurs are united to face a corrupt businessman who could endanger all life on Earth.
Following a modern trend of uniting various aspects of a franchise, this film is reasonably effective. It was good that there were enough sub-plots to keep both parties engaged and active while also contrasting their different methods, one mainly based in action, the other in science and inquiry. Both keep the entertainment and pace moving.
Various tropes from the franchise are reused, including several of the well known dinosaurs and ones we’ve seen before like the dilophosaurus. A technique that was particularly repeated is having someone arrive just in time to save a character from imminent death which made for a few too many coincidences.
There were a few new dinosaurs to mix things up a bit, although there’s still the tendency to favour ones similar to the T-Rex and in this case one of the main predators looked too much like one for it to be variety. It’s a classic element of the series now but it’s still good to see the billionaire as the bad guy as one looks forward to seeing them get eaten.
It would have been more engaging if the characters had given us more background information about the different dinosaurs as it’d have been educational, as well as explaining the parts where the dinosaurs are closer to historical evidence. There was an odd dichotomy where we’re encouraged to sympathise with dinosaur deaths but the plot depends on an insect genocide just because the species isn’t as cute.
5/10 -Can’t find a better example of average-
-Despite the claim in the film that Gigonatosaurus is the biggest carnivore ever known on Earth, the Spinosaurus was larger and was featured in the third Jurassic Park film.
-The dinosaur that took the longest to create was the Pyroraptor because the effects team were unused to working with feathers.
-Despite the Giganotosaurus being labelled one of the biggest threats, it isn’t shown to eat anyone.
