seeing religious "war on pokemon" stuff isnt even super funny to me, it just makes me feel bad for the kids that are born and trapped into families and communities like that, mostly for reasons beyond not being able to enjoy pokemon

I made brownie

The wyrmling takes a nice picture...

you can still understand and relate to the emotion being depicted in the character’s expression as it represents a sapient (albeit fictional) being, but the creature is far enough away from your lived experience that you understand on an innate level that it is incapable of harming or judging you

like it takes mental and emotional stamina to perceive and interpret all the semiotic signals a human facial expression contains on top of the primal chemical reaction to feeling that you’re being looked at by another person. A cartoon animal feels safer tho bc its under more layers of abstraction

beyond being exposed to animated anthro animals at a young age i think another big reason i gravitate toward furry shit is simply that everyday life & media are so nauseatingly oversaturated with fleshy emoting human faces that seeing a cartoon animal is like a breath of fresh air by contrast

#MythAugust 12 To absolutely no one surprise, the Primordial Child is associated with children and childhood. And that means, his symbols and his imagery is EVERYTHING related to that. Every child, every doll, every plaything can remind and represent him and his powers. He guards over them all!

#MythAugust Day 11 Most Primordial Ones are incredibly powerful over one demesne, and most their powers are in focus of that very thing they represent. Dari, however, has the best and biggest demesne of all: Childhood Imagination. Unsurprisingly this means he can change things by reimagining them!

been thinking about how I use nostalgia (after seeing somebody complaining about artists who try to make their stuff like retro lol) and for sure I just like the look but it's also a tool. I'm not just leaning in. I'm also weaponizing it for my specific purposes. I am using it to cut

The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

#Char_Roleplay Dari: "Oh that sounds fun. I'm gonna find aaaall the loopholes. But, Ah don't worry, I am a god. I can just fix whatever mess this creates. We have fun today, not worries, relax a bit and watch the world burn a bit, okay? We can use this dice to make it more fun too!"

when you look down on something, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re above it. it might even just be having a lay down in the grass. Hey- do you wanna have a lay down in the grass?

The quickest way to get a young reader NOT to read is to give them a required reading list.

Make me leader of the world and I promise to not only enact voting rights to all children, no matter their age, but I will ALSO remove all voting rights for all people who are not children (read: anyone over the age of 12)

btw I phrased this vaguely but I don't just mean in video games. I mean ever

#Char_Roleplay Lexi: "Wait, i think i learned in school about this. Humans loved having money, yes? But I still don't understand why, honestly. Was there a special reason why you decided that instead of just having the stuff you need, you need to work for it? It never made sense to me honestly!?"

I should start telling people that my cat’s name Sephie is short for Sephiroth instead of Persephone

it's healthier to microwave a mushroom than to eat it raw because their cell walls are too thick for us to digest easily so all those nutrients are mostly inaccessible unless you cook it!! (reposting because I typoed in a confusing way lmao)

Do you think that horror works because it reveals truth, or because it hides it? I think horror reveals truths through what we fear the most #writingq #horror #WritingCommunity

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

#MythAugust Day 10 As the "Primordial Child" it is no surprise that Dari does indeed look like a child. Despite being genderless, due to his friends being mostly girls (and adjacent) he took form of a boy, but is also known to be a girl at times. Things are complicated with gods, you know? (1/3)

pokemon black and white on the switch when

i make mess.. is ok though it still tasty (apple pie)

So very tired #art #comic #sharks

#Char_Roleplay Finja: "What's wrong with stupid, boring or ugly children? What's wrong with YOU? That question is awful. Let's talk about this cool bird I saw instead. It had super pretty shiny purple feathers that were glowing in the sunlight. So pretty! Sung a super cute song too!"

what then!!

#MythAugust Day 9 Dari is not just the embodyment of a child's unburdened love, but also the blueprint for the concept of Childhood itself. So when the universe resulted in children coming into existence, it was Dari who they were coming after. Not by any power of will, but by nature itself. (1/2)

#MythAugust Day 8 Dari: the Primordial Child. Embodyment of the specific flavour of love that any young child has for everything and everyone. The spark that resides in all children until the burdens of the world corrupt the little flame they share. I love him bc he is just a lil kid having fun.

#MythAugust Day 7 Most Primordial Ones live in the Aetherplanare, a plane of existence weaving through everything. Some have temporary residence in our universe. However, Dari lives in the Mist Retreat, a timeless Nexus between the Aetherplanare and a Plane of Existence called the Dream World.

#MythAugust Day 6 Good News: Dari is an active, and very ambitious member of the Children's Guild. Plays a lot with the kids, helps them when he can, and may even stand up for them when it comes to it. Bad News: None of these children know they are actually friends with an actual elder god. (1/2)

#MythAugust Day 5 While the Primordial Ones have no real hierarchy, Dari is suspected by his peers to be an actual god instead of "just" a Primordial One, as he was the first and is older than the multiverse His seven children are usually seen as below him, but he doesnt think of it like that (1/3)

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

Normal ppl when they see others using their fursona as their avi: omg wtf no doubles i'm gonna k!ll u for stealing my character i'm reporting you change your icon NOW or PERISH Me when i see others using my fursona as their avi: ah yes. another one of my beautiful daughters has logged in

the "funny" thing here is that only the author profile and the military bullet point are indicators of what is talked abt, bc the rest is true for way too many groups of ppl. we such a silly species i tell ya. nonsensical creatures even. can we all agree to skip woke 2 and get directly to woke Ω?

people will say life is a roller coaster, but i don't think that's true. it's more like one of those kids rides where they give you a steering wheel to turn, but no matter how you turn the wheel, you keep slowly going in circles until everything stops

lets be real for once now: one of the worst things of the whole gen AI thingy is how many, many, many artists of all professions completely fell into the trap and are now reurgitating some of the worst fascist takes i have ever seen you think you are fighting back, but you aren't. you make it worse

It's so crazy we live in a world where female athletes are striking for better wages and dodging sex toys being thrown at them, while trans athletes are being accused of evil scheming so they can play women's sports, which pays well and is highly dignified. It's almost like someone's full of shit

#Char_Roleplay Dari: "Good question. Because to me, YOU are the animals. And yet I only sit here and scheme for the ultimate end so all cruelty my dear children endure and cause alike will end. Am I really better than you? Eh, who cares, wanna play some games? Has animals in it too! Cute ones even!"
