Also I revamped Fen’s old design. I’ve been meaning to do this for some time, the colors of his old design were atrocious and have bugged me from the start. And at the time I made his first design it was purely for giggles- my role play partner mech-station and I hadn’t come up with the story he and his partner in crime are involved in until after I already posted his initial design. Now with the setting inspired by 1940’s Vegas (Caldera, as the city is called in our story), Fen’s old design and clothing were no longer fitting for his story. So, finally did that much desired revamp a few weeks ago and just forgot to post it. I’m happy my boy is looking more like his pretty self now :D
Hahaha so funny story here… I’ve sort of been regressing back into my prehistoric/dinosaur obsession from my childhood, and after seeing a small joke in a review video today I thought it’d be fun to just draw a guy with a dinosaur head. But then as I was drawing, I thought it’d be even more fun to make him an Archaeopteryx, because I love those buggers.
And then I showed the drawing to a friend of mine as I was working on it, and we both got talking, and before you know it… we have a whole set up for a story planned out involving anthropomorphic Dinosaur mobsters and hitmen in a Vegas-like city. So… I guess this simple drawing turned into an actual character with a story now now :D
His name is Pheonyx c: and hes adorably ridiculous and I love him <3
Man: What’s a matter girl, you had a little bit too much corn?
Pig: *very long disgruntled groan which rises in pitch*
Man: Is that a yeah?
Pig: *shorter groan*
Man: Okay. Here I come, I gotta get the intoxicated pig… Look at this pig…
Pig: *quiet snort*
Man: Hey!
Pig: *snort*
Man: Are you messed up, girl?
Pig: *short snort*
Man: Never seen a damn pig… Look at that, that one here’s fine, that one there is fine, this one here is turned belly up
Pig: *snort snort snort snort*
Man: Hey you
Pig: *snort*
Man: Whoa! Whoa! Shit! [Unintelligible] HOWH! Come here girl!
Pig: *grunt grunt grunt*
Man: Holy hell, fuck…I didn’t mean to do that
“Whoa! Woah! Shit The Bed Almighty!” Is my new favorite expletive
and if anyone’s wondering, the man (from Cecilia, Kentucky, USA) had emptied a broken deer feeder full of accidentally fermented corn into a field where no animals were supposed to be. the pigs broke out of their pen, got into the corn, and the one you see here seriously overindulged
they observed her overnight and got Animal Control to do a check-up on her. she’s fine
so yes, you you can enjoy the video without worrying about Drunk Pig
wizard has a crush on a vampire and creates a magic mirror so the vampire can see how beautiful they really are
“how does it work?” the vampire asks, with tears in her eyes after being able to look at herself for the first time in centuries
“oh, its pretty simple,” the wizard answers, “its a portal to an alternate dimension where everything is flipped and everything plays out exactly the same as this one, so it’s perfectly matched up when you walk by it.”
“… okay.”
Or simply create a mirror without silver in it, like we do nowadays
(I’m here to destroy the romance)
vampires just cant see their own reflection it itsnt because of silver or whatever if we look into a puddle we wont see ourselves
Every time I see a video of a cat that’s just meowing constantly, I think about how they developed meowing exclusively as a way to communicate with humans.
Past kittenhood, I mean. Kittens meow for the same reason human babies cry; to tell their mom “I have needs and wants and I’m so so small and I hardly even know it!” But adult cats have other ways to communicate with each other. They only continue to meow because they realize it’s the only part of their language that gets have anything close to the correct response from humans.
Anyway. Whenever I see videos like this where a human and cat are doing that sort of call-and-response routine, like-
*human talks at the cat like its a person*
meow
*human talks at cat like its a person*
meow
-so on and so forth, like I dunno, it just hits different somehow. Like it’s not the same as dogs barking at humans, dogs barking is a “natural” dog instinct (to my knowledge), but adult meowing is a specifically domestic behavior. They developed it for us. They know we can’t really understand them, the same way the mom in this video knows the cat can’t understand her, but they meow at us anyway. And this cat’s plaintive meows are it begging to be set free of the grooming torture, obviously, but sometimes it seems like it’s just a call and response.
Like you’ll see a video of a human talking at a cat, and the cat meows back between sentences, and the cat is like lying with its eyes half closed or sitting with its back turned to the human and it’s meowing back anyway and you stop and think about it and realize that they’re doing the same thing.
The cat and the human talking at each other when they don’t need anything from each other, that’s- that’s just conversation.It’s literally cross-species small talk, because both the cat and the human are engaging in it just for the sake of hearing a response back.
They can’t understand each other at all, but they continue to communicate purely for the sake of communication. For the pleasure of each other’s company. For the sake of socializing with each other. We don’t even understand each other, and it’s still small talk.
And you think about that and you remember again that adult cats without humans don’t meow and it’s just their human company comfort language and you cry.
Oh fuck I’m so sorry I didn’t realize I reblogged this from you lmao
I don’t know if women are attracted to the tortured artist but if they are, maybe it’s the foreignness, and that feeling of foreignness is good for a relationship, and positive, and something that we need to un-demonize. Just “other.” But I think that’s also the same for same-sex relationships, it’s not just for men and women. In a companionship, it’s really a wonderful thing when people bring different things, and it’s so great to see someone stand back from their sweetheart and say, “Wow, you’re so different from me and I think you’re reallycool.”
The second of my 5k Event pieces, for the amazingly talented @uvobreakmylegs . Her work inspires me daily, and should be considered a must-read for anyone who likes quality hxh fics. She asked for a stylistic Pakunoda x Reader fic, and I ended up with writing an Apocalypse AU! fic!
Hope you enjoy it :D
WARNINGS: end of the world (obviously), descriptions of acid wounds, murder, gn! reader, descriptions of violence and violent intentions
The troupe prepared for a lot of futures.
Chrollo made contingency plans for all kinds of scenarios, usually in down time or after a heist had been completed: from countries sending full-on armies after the troupe to what the last remaining member should do in case the rest of the troupe got exterminated. He all kept them written down neatly in a little brown ledger, though he probably had copies lying around somewhere.
The boss was a man who planned in advance, enjoying both the way his plans worked flawlessly and how the unpredictability of the world and humans scrambled up his plans, yet even he’d never thought he’d need to prepare for the end of the world.
Why would he plan for something that would kill them all? There was no use making and preparing steps for something as definite as the apocalypse. The troupe, and the rest of mankind for that matter, would be dead. That would be the result. No need to think about it too long.
Chrollo had been mistaken.
The apocalypse, like anything, took a while to finish.

Her costume consists of a green wetsuit with darker green spotted pattern and a pale yellow stomach, like the underbelly of a frog. Her thigh high boots are black with bright yellow spots and green flipper-like toes. She’s wearing a bright yellow harness/backpack and neck wrap for temperature regulation, and yellow goggles with green frog eye lenses. Her hair is worn tied back in two large loops.
