woahg. OC be apon you.

Her name is Auk and she's a costal Icewing. Her pattern is based on Chinstrap penguins, which are my favorite penguins :)

Sorry for being incapable of answering a question without like 900 "It dependssss" prefaces. Unfortunately too many things depend on too many things

hired a galapagos finch at my burger joint and after 2 generations it evolved to take peoples orders

Congratulations to Marcille DungeonMeshi for achieving Pathetic Little Man status on tumblr, a hard glass ceiling for many female characters to break. I look forward to calling you my sopping wet beast and poor little meow meow for fandom days to come. Keep trucking babygirl, you'll bag Falin one day

There's a whole bunch of TikTok drama at the moment after someone posted a video asking "would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a strange man?"

And the men are *very upset* that nearly every woman replied with "....obviously a bear."

It's honestly wild (I think some of these guys think that bears are movie monsters, craving human flesh).

But it boils down to this- they want you to expect the worst from the bear and the best from the stranger, and they are deeply offended that this isn't the case. 🤷

I worked on my spider drawing skills! To make Viro's spider pet a bit less cartoon-y haha! But still cute : )

Spinny is based on a tarantula, and since Viro is a tiny fairy she's huge! Eventhough she is a spider, vibe wise I went for an Old English Sheepdog (big and friendly, eyes covered)

I think my problem (and a lot of people's) is that if I lived in a tribe/village of 50-100 people my skills and general ability would be so impressive and fulfilling; I'd be the talk of the town at whatever I decided to devote myself to. But I live in a globalized society of a fucktillion people where theres 900,000,000 absolute best of the bests at everything, that are all easily accessible to everyone. Which renders any abilities and knowledge I *do* have completely cringefail and meaningless

Y’all, I am SO excited about this new beetle that was just discovered!!!!

IM SO SICK OF YOU ALL

No nuance allowed. please share for a bigger sample 💕💕💕💕💕

*by eat i mean how do you prefer your cereal.

What was the slug(?) the frog couldn't eat and spat out? You seem to know what that creature is, haha

It was a caterpillar in the Limacodidae family (dunno the exact species off the top of my head), which are known for their venomous spines that deliver a painful sting. I've been stung by one called the saddleback, it's comparable to the sting of a wasp or hornet. Very cool caterpillars, but DEFINITELY not something I'd ever want in my mouth lol

I don't think spiky isopods are talked about enough
