Pay 1k for "exclusive" brand species OR you can get custom figures,fully rigged vtubers model, custom fursuit, custom physical merch ect;

Reconsider..

Im one of the basal owners and if I could pull my basal from the species I would. That basal is staying with me out of spite (I do draw them often).

Not being able to void “official” dainties is so stupid if you ask me. Once the character is yours (especially if you spent a lot for them), you should have the right to do whatever you want with them.

holding out hope that the mystery basals are gonna actually be good (not spending money on them tho lmao)

yes you support disabled and mentally ill people with nasty, mean, ugly, or otherwise "bad" symptoms. but are you normal about physically chronically ill people who's physical condition directly impacts their behavior and psychiatric condition? are you normal about physically chronically ill people who literally cannot repress, hold back, or regulate aggression, mean statements, or anger/rage episodes? are you normal about physically chronically ill people who legitimately cannot regulate any strong emotion whatsoever? are you normal about physically chronically ill people who have "bad" behaviors that would be unreasonable, cruel and unfair to "punish" because it's the almost equivalent to punishing them for something like having pain? are you normal about people like us? we exist.

THIS IS ABOUT PHYSICAL, CHRONIC ILLNESS, NOT SOLELY MENTAL ILLNESS. IF WE SEE YOU DERAILING MY POST YOU WILL EXPLODE INTO A TRILLION PIECES.

awoooo

Last year, I created a trading card game concept featuring local paleo fauna of different formations. I want to produce a professional set this year and maybe an English edition as well.

The German trading cards concepts and pins will soon be available again in my online shop.

Tintype of two men sharing a mysteriously charged moment of contention—or benediction?—over a pocket watch, c. 1870s

a too-common misconception about the origins of filipinos is that we are all descended from the aeta. we are not. “aeta” refers to a specific ethnic group native to certain places in luzon such as zambales and pampanga, but is also commonly used as an umbrella term for several related ethnic groups across the philippine archipelago. they are identified by physical characteristics such as dark skin and very curly hair (leading to a false belief that they are descendants of black africans) as opposed to those of majority of the country who have lighter skin and hair that is either straight or of looser curl patterns (also falsely believed to be markers of the so-called malay race.)

the aeta are an ethnic minority; as of 2010, there were a documented <100,000 out of millions of filipino citizens identifying as such. it is clear majority of filipinos are not of aeta descent. so where does this myth that all filipinos “descend” from the aeta come from?

generations of miseducation has led the average filipino to believe that, out of the hundreds of ethnic groups native to the philippines, it is the aeta in particular who are the original people who came to the philippines prior to the advent of the austronesian expansion. in other words, filipinos view the aeta as a pure people who are remnants of the old world.

this is not true because:

DNA evidence from the luzon aeta, mamanwa ata, batak, & other similar peoples indicate ancestry from BOTH the earliest settlers of what is now the philippines (commonly referred to colloquially and in the literature as negritos but also sometimes as basal australasians and first sundaland peoples) and later migrants associated with the austronesian expansion.

all other native populations in the philippines save for igorot peoples also show admixture from both negrito/basal australasian/first sundaland peoples and later migrants, most significantly the austronesian speakers. what’s notable is the varying degrees of admixture among aetas and non-aetas.

two graphic charts showing the peopling of the philippines and genetic admixture in modern populations. taken from the study, “Multiple migrations to the Philippines during the last 50,000 years” (2021) by Maximillian Larena et al.

i think what has happened is that “aeta” has become synonymous with the earliest inhabitants of the philippines, the real name for these ancient peoples being unknown to us moderns. it is only the flawed tendency to view indigenous peoples as unchanging relics of the past that has led to the biggest mistake filipinos make when discussing our origins: that is, the constant misuse of the term “aeta” to mean “pureblooded original people” when in reality aeta peoples are also descended from later migrants. when people say filipinos are descended from the aeta, they really mean to say filipinos are descended from the first settlers.

aeta peoples are our contemporaries; they are not our living progenitors but their own people with their own languages, ancestral lands, cultures, and histories.

Clearly someone saw this blog and decided to do sumn about it cause now there’s a discussion post in the CS forums on Toyhouse that put pru on blast for the basal shit, godspeed to them 🫡

Glad to make a difference

The blue thread bear basal was resold awhile ago

not surprised, I highly doubt the basals will have forever homes. The painter one was in trade purgatory for a while at some point too.

Personally, I wish the new basal batch had more Halloween colors and themes. Don't get me wrong, the traits so far sound pretty interesting. I made a prediction that the darker ones, i.e., blighted demon, mistress, pins, no guts, and spider dance. I also guessed that rats would be popular. I was surprised when ppl liked the knight, I went for one that I genuinely liked the traits of. But the baskets so far look pretty interesting, and the traits are very interesting! I would like to hear others' thoughts on it, thoughts that aren't an echo chamber, aka the dainty server.

hiii queuing up a bunch of old oc art cuz i'm still busy lol

these are from last spring, i hadn't drawn my main trio in a couple years and honestly still haven't drawn them enough recently to get their new designs fully figured out, but i still like the direction these were going in :3 older designs under the cut

i love how much like. their previous iterations were sooo reflective of the time i made them lmao. like yeah that's the vibe of being 15 or starting college. hdfkjghkd

malcolm: connor Malcolm: connor my bones malcolm: they hurt connor, laughing: yeah mal connor: i'm not surprised connor: you did fall down a flight of stairs malcolm: but they don't usually hurt like this connor: how many flights of stairs are you falling down??? malcolm: well none this week but i fell down them twice last week connor: yeah okay I'm definitely calling will malcolm: noooooo malcolm: nevermind my bones don't hurt connor: too late connor: WILL!
