#i just like lizards man
Text
Back in the UK (not home until tomorrow) with better internet to post pictures, so here's some African five-lined skink from holiday
Plus bonus Spot the Skink minigame for everyone
#life of sponty#skink#lizard#African five-lined skink#i think this species was in breeding season as k#i saw several individuals fighting and one pair mating while i was there#i just like lizards man#fond of that second pic because it looks like a lizor chilling under the world's tiniest iterator can#n.b. there seems to be a lot of variance in pictures of this lizard on iNaturalist so id is not 100%#but seems good enough#most of the individuals i saw seemed to have lost their tails and regrown them which would account for the dull or absent blue

Hey, so... I know that the "animals with eyes on the side of their head are prey- and dragons on eyes on the of their heads" post is like...funny. very Tumblr. A+ content.
But I'm starting to see people just like...repeat that as though it's like....a fact?
But...we do know that 1. Front facing vs side facing eyes are just about whether field of vision or depth perception was selected for and 2. .... dragons are based on predatory *reptiles* right?
Yall know crocodiles aren't a "prey" species, right?
#i mean baby crocs do get predated#very few animals are like exclusively at the top or bottom of the food web#anyway I keep seeing people mimicking that original post like its some.... deeply profound insight about dragons#when dragons are basicalky just man what if a croc could fly that would be fucked up right#fun fact crocadilians arent lizards#crocs are more closely related to birds than to lizards

I've been having this thought that I haven't been able to really articulate? And I still don't think I'm going to do it right, but here goes my attempt anyway:
BROADLY SPEAKING, yes, the trope of everyone gets hetero married and has lots of kids at the end of the story is over done, and YES we absolutely badly need other versions of happily ever after because there is no one path to life fulfillment, and no one true way to find or build a family, or even one definition of family!
HOWEVER: it rings a bit hollow to me when I see other people taking this bit of generallized story crafting advise and applying that to katara and sokka specifically. Because they're not the ethnically dominant race or culture in the AtLA setting, not even close. They're based off circumpolar native populations. Their people have survived a century of genocide. Their story repeatedly echos themes of family, community, tradition, being forcefully stripped of it by imperialist colonizers, and the trauma there in. There's pieces of themselves they lost before they were even born, and both siblings are acutely aware of that, though they choose to deal with it in different ways.
I'm not saying that they DEFINITELY ABSOLUTELY must get hetero married and have a million babies to have a fulfilling ending, I hope no one reads this that way. I'm only saying that I think there has been a gap in the critical analysis responses of the broader fandom when they start reflectively sneering at stories that do have them content to stay home and raise the next generation, or whenever anyone laments about post show canon/LoK seems to neglect mentioning sokka having any family at some point it gets push back on with that exact argument.
Consider that it might be better applied to people for whom getting to raise the next generation in some way isn't itself an entire victory fanfare.
#like!!!#idk man it means something different#I still don't think I'm wording this good#but a people that survived as a group actual concerted efforts to make them and their way of life disappear#might just have a different view on generational continuity#than someone whose never had to experience their cultural identity being erased#Fuck it's late this possibly didn't even make sense idk anymore#lizard is starting to ramble#sokka#katara#watertribe siblings

I'm feeling salty so I'm just gonna say-
If you can't handle the idea of feeding live prey to something.
Do not get a pet. That requires you. To feed it live fucking prey. There are SO MANY OTHER OPTIONS!
Also don't be that fucking weirdo who goes on other people's socials and bitches about how it's "inhumane" or "gross". They'd be doing it out in the wild. It's a little something called nature. And no, you cannot find an "alternative" for your mantis.
It's a MANTIS. It is like. One of the most famous predatory insects. It is infamous for eating its prey alive.
If you're going to be a little baby about feeding live prey. Then get a pet that doesn't need that. And shut the fuck up.
#its just annoying as fuck like#if you don't like the idea of predation in animals then like... don't get a predator#i've been in the hobby for all of a month but this shit is everywhere#and its not new!#i used to own a pair of lizards when I was in high school and I was seeing this shit back then too#because I would give them crickets once a month as a treat instead of their usual veggies#and people are so WEIRD about animals eating other animals like#wtf is wrong with people?#it's a CRICKET calm down#like sure all life is sacred yadda yadda but fucking#all life being sacred doesn't mean that death never happens#because if my mantis doesn't eat he dies#if my spider doesn't eat she dies#it's called nature you chucklefucks#Reaper Man and Bracken would both be eating bugs if they were out in the wild#Bracken is actually a species native to my general area so like#there are spoods out there RIGHT NOW eating bugs#she just gets to have a cushy life with no predators and carefully controlled humidity and big fat flies on the regular#and a cute little hide#same for Reaper Man he gets a nice cushy home and all the food he could need#and people are really out here bitching about how its cruel fuck the fuck off#if you come into the bug keeping world and whine about this I just think you're a moron

If it’s not too much to ask…could we get a garashir grand babbe roll call
GARASHIR GRAND BABBEES!
NO GENETIC RELATION TO EITHER OF THEM. BUT THEY'RE GARAK-BASHIRS IN THEIR HEARTS!
Lim and his wife have like.. 5 or 6 kids...... on purpose........ there are many family running jokes about it with varying levels of crudeness. They just want a big family... If everyone was like them the planet would regain its prewar population in a few scant generations. Besides, Lim is a stay-at-home dad and house manager, so there's someone to wrangle them all full-time.
Jocasta eventually gets married at the spinsterish age of 30 and has a reasonable amount of children. There's such a dearth of young Cardassian men after the war that nobody thought it was too unusual that she took that long, but still, societal expectations and whatnot. Garak is heartbroken when she moves out (last one to leave the nest.) He visits a lot especially after he retires.
Idk if Idan has kids! Probably eventually. He's a student though, he's got too much to do right now.
But he is a favorite uncle!
Also idk if Iskra and Rulada have kids haha I don't know if they're the 2.5 WPF type... but very funny to imagine their Klingon/Cardassian hybrid. WHAT kind of chaotic mommy energy is Iskra going to bring to this endeavor
#dee s 9#garashir adoption au#ME DRAWING LIZARD BABY AFTER LIZARD BABY YEEEEEES HAHAHA! YEEEEES SICKO FACE!!!!#omg i didnt draw julian in a pile of grandbabies. need to#hes a busy man later in life he's like Cardassia's Doctor/pet alien celebrity#garak's retired and trying to enjoy obsolescence and julian's still pulling 80 hr workweeks#garaks enjoying his oldmancore lifestyle. like tain but you know with a family that actually loves him and a legacy worth being proud of#you knowwwww garak is just bonkers about the idea of having a big family. being a Patriarch. being the lynchpin of a big community#he was FAMILYSTARVED and now he is being FAMILYFED!#klingon cardassian babies would be so ugleeeee omg can you imagine#bashir removing iskras test tube baby from the amniotic goop tube: hes beautiful...#iskra: no he for real is not hes so ugly but thank you :')#thank you for giving me a venue to talk about lizard ocs...

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend
my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.
but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)
on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.
and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(
you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth
and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!
#i dont normally write long posts like this but i think ive been trying to put this into words for a long time and it finally happened#my cloth mother spirit tracks zelda and my wire mother lttp zelda#ACTUALLY ANOTHER THING when i was a kid i always felt guilty when i had to catch the legendary at the end of the game#because to me it was like 'i know none of this is real but if i capture you and have you under my thumb am i robbing the world of something#normal thoughts for a 10 year old to have#when i talked to my brother abt this he was like 'i mean yeah the point is to dunk on the NPCs what were you expecting' and i mean i think#i get that its supposed to feel rewarding because the legendary is THE reward. but it doesnt feel right and i dislike he feeling of pushing#others down to get ahead. i guess u can argue sun/moon does smth similar where you have nebby with lillie#but lillie still ends up handing nebby over to the player and i STILL feel bad because im like shit man you raised that little guy#and koraidon/miraidon feels less like a reward but more like overpowered motorcycle lizard that is just so oupydog. and i love him#and in spirit tracks i went out of my way doing some of the side quests bc zelda asked nicely and honestly that was enough for me#i think all of this boils down to.. i feel very protective abt things i care abt so stories that give me a reason to care hits harder#this can also go the other way bc i CRIED when i finished links awakening because i KNEW every person and im responsible for#literally the end of their world. like. there was a family with 5 kids. marin loved singing and cared about me. she was my FRIEND#i just. ugh. i have too many feelings rn. i kinda wanna draw more spirit tracks link and zelda i think that wld make me feel better#yapping#diary#loz#pokemon

Vast Avatar concept who just picks up east coasters or europeans from the Kansas City airport and drives them to Denver without leaving I70.
It's almost a perfect straight drive west.
Once you get past Salina or Hays there's that dawning horror that it's so flat you can watch your dog run away for a week. Yeah, you'll start to see the mountains when you get closer to the state line but at that point how are you certain those are real? Maybe the car turns around in Goodland and you're back driving east on I70.
Let's bring back Prairie Madness
#stop ignoring your responsibilities erik#tma#the magnus archives#the magnus pod#the vast#man this might as well become my sona i LOVE roadtrips#I drive almost 2 hours in a straight line through farmland just for antiques#And for reference the state of Kansas is larger than England alone#it's larger than most european countries#the drive to denver from KCI is almost 9 hours#I've done that drive and I live here and something changed in my brain#I don't think people are supposed to stare at the horizon that long#makes me feel like a big bird is gonna get me#different kind of lizard brain i think i am about to be eaten

so TK must be getting horny at random shit. Carlos doesn't even blink when TK starts making out with him meal worms still in hand. HE FULL ON SAYS IT TOO "even the meal worms?" before going for it, "ok....?"
imagine:
TK just comes stomping out of the bathroom, pointing a brand new toilet brush at Carlos, "come here I just thought about your bicep and I need it."
TK drops a bowl and Carlos comes running and TK is holding broken ceramic shards and goes "It was just a plate, something Paul left over cause he hated it. Oh wait Carlos you smell amazing..."
Tarlos go to a cat cafe with Nancy and Mateo and TK has to pull Carlos in the bathroom by his belt loops bc he held a kitten so softly it made TK want to cry
#911 lone star#lone star rewatch#tarlos#the new toilet brush is bc they are doing spring cleaning get ur mind out of the gutter#altho while we're down here.....#I just think the way he accepts the meal worms even though he CLEARLY hates this lizard is so sweet lmfao#tk is such an adhd menace. i love him#and carlos is like welp i love him so i have to indulge this adorable sexy man#fic ideas#someone please write them i have too many fucking things going on right now lmfao

oh my god so i just saw this picture of froy guitterez with a bearded dragon and i fear i am going to have to give clyde a bearded dragon. i'm not sure how he got her, ( prolly by doing something extremely impulsive, dumb and unhinged ), but he snuck her into him and tolkien's dorm room and was like "okay! so don't get mad BUT--"
...he was Mad, btw. but rm!tolkien doesn't scream because he is a dignified british king ( the only one i respect ) and just speaks at a slightly louder volume and does things with his eyebrows like "Why. Do. You. Have. A. LIZARD. Clyde?" and he's like "okay, first of all, she's not JUST a lizard; she's a Bearded Dragon and her name is-" idk what her name is it's probably something insane like glizzy or salamanda or mary guana, i want to start crying, oh my god. clyde loves reptiles.
and tolkien is like "right...so does 'glizzy' have a cage? food?...water?" and clyde is just staring at him blankly like, "damn. i didn't think about that." KHSSDLKSDH HELP so they go to a lil pet store, i think they figure out a clever way to keep her warm and make her a strange makeshift enclosure. tldr, she gets all set up...except they have to Hide her ( also prolly in some elaborate way ) bc they're not supposed to have pets in the dorms and at first, tolkien was so Anti-Glizzy, like he made clyde put up lost lizard ads online/stuff on craigslist...
...buUUUUt accidentally got attached to her and secretly took the all listings down. anyways, happy pride month ft. rm!tyde co-parenting a lizard daughter together. the world is a beautiful place, in fact. <3
#nina speaks#sorry this made me laugh#too much#homoerotic activities smh#just two guys being dudes being lizard girl dads#i love rm clyde and rm tolkien theyre so funny#also clydes dinosaur hyperfixation was going off#he is just...the most distracted ever#not alert that king#tolkien was like go put that thing back where it came from rn#but im sure clyde cried so he was like#siiigh OKAY#the way i bet u in the begining tolkien was like oh my god#what a Foul and ODIOUS creature#and now she is his special lady ok she hangs out with him while he does art projects and when clyde is saying weird stuff#hes like *looks at glizzy* i kno darling it does sound like bullocks doesnt it KDHSDLSHDKDH GO TEAM GO#also idk what her name is i just wanted to laugh#it has to be insane i know clyde named her something weird#also its so funny to me in a weird way rm!tyde is like slightly ravesey coded in a diff font their double dates are iconic#we love the hottest baddest man in the universe#and his cute pathetic boyfriend w/ the pretty eyes#music to my ears lmaooo tolkien and jerseykyle everyday watching clyde and ravenstan interact like#oh god what are we doing what have we done#it is like taking ur boyfriend to the dog park help#also i know that ravenstan was like WOWZA SHES SO CUTE#and jersey was like aLRIGHT BOYS SHOWS OVER#STAN WERE NOT GETTING A CRAZY LIZARD THING#STOP GIVING HIM IDEAS DONOVAN U SHIDIOT#15 min loop of jerseykyle about to strangle rm!clyde#its ok he grew on jk like mold smh he is...fond of him

Back when I was a kid in 2011 I daydreamed of a third gorgon sister, Lamia. I would have designed a sister different now but I still think that she is better from that girl in soul eater not 😎
#soul eater#art tag!#lamia#yaaaas#her tag...#who knows man#i just find it cute that she is like medusa lite TM with her tats#she was lizard themed /v\

got visually spoiled on the literally last thing i was still actively missing and working towards in totk but i dont think im gonna like it anyway ...
if it is what i think it is, and what it looks like to be, its just yet another nail in the coffin (or however you say that) as to why the lore sucks in this game even tho it had such good setup and so much potential
#ganondoodles talks#totk spoilers#tagging it as such bc im gonna say my current thoguhts about it here#again its just visually and i havent seen the text to it yet#so please dont say anythign about it#but#im 100% certain its the reward for all shrines which i dont have yet#and first of all it looks dumb as shit#and second of all its supposed to be the ancient hero in the tapestry isnt it#the zonau got their grimy hands on that too dont they#the thing that was such a cool mystery all this time got solved just like that isnt it#nintendo saw us theorizing about gan being the ancient hero and thought oh gods now we cant give him nuance quickly invent some zonau excus#however that makes sense since they were supposedly long gone by the time the first calamity happened#which still happened even with the time fuckery going on since the tapestry still exists and the last guardian remains#tho it doesnt look quite like a zonau but more like some creepy ass unholy mix of a lizard and gerudo#im gonna wait with my final judgement since i havent read the text yet#but it for sure isnt motivating me more to get all the last 50 or so shrines#i regret finishing the underground first so much man#all you get is a you did it sticker#literally#should have done the shrines first so at least i couldnt get spoiled on that still#im guessing its funney reference or whatever#some mysteries are better left unsolved#didnt want to rush and get all shrines in a hurry and isntead explore it on my own since the exploring part and world is what i love#aside from the music#but i guess i gotta do that now#actual shrine hutning stream incoming i guess#:/
