you: seagulls are evil winged rats >:(
me, who has seen the light and knows the peace the universe holds:
For those curious: Ross’s Gull (Rhodostethia rosea), a dove-sized gull that lives in a tiny area of the Arctic. Notice the pink wash on the belly.

Maybe medieval people happened upon a T-Rex fossil and came to a relatively logical conclusion that dragons existed.
I’ve read a couple books on this actually, thats exactly what happened. Also cyclops are from looking at bones from a certain type of baby elephant. The giant note hole and tiny eyes made it look like a single eye.
Yep, can confirm! And what’s even funnier to me is that back in the dark ages, Greek people used to find a lot of prehistoric bear skeletons - and those look exactly like human skeletons, except they’re like eight feet tall or something - so they naturally assumed those were the heroes of legend, and made armour and clothes for them and reburied them with the most splendid and sacred religious ceremonies they could think of? Fast forward five centuries, Athens’ all modern and rational, philosophers and scientists aren’t taking any shit from anyone - but the problem is, people will randomly find graves containing giant-ass warriors, so that’s something that can’t be explained away and yeah, demigods were a thing and yeah, they used to be eight feet tall and sorry I don’t make the rules.
Some scientists suspect that the origin of the cyclops myths came about because of elephant skulls, which are vaguely human in shape but with a honking big hole in the middle for the trunk but easily mistakable for an eye socket without any flesh
this is the first time i’ve ever seen an elephant skull outside an elephant and i don’t like it much
The word “swims” is the same upside down
smiws??
upside down, not backwards. silly.
Ethan. If you turn a w upside down you get an m.
oh i see what you mean. You’re kind of visualizing it like a flip side of a coin or card, take the word “swims” and turn it upside down by actually turning it 180 degrees.
THATS WHAT UPSIDE DOWN MEANS
bella do me a favor and literally write down the word on a piece of paper and turn it upside down
OKAY BUT I DONT SEE HOW THATS GONNA
oh
Ironically enough, your sad, angry smiley face will also read the same when turned upside down…
I am absolutely here for the energy and interactions between Bella and Ethan
The amount of times I could have been that white girl in the horror movie could honestly be a movie in itself and it’s honestly a waste that my entire life isn’t constantly recorded on film because it would be HILARIOUS
1. That one time I decided to see what was past the old gate in the woods, but when got there it had been smashed in half and there was a decapitated sheep head with no skin just off the trail, so instead I just turned around and went home.
2. That time some friends and I went camping and we found a pile of bones wrapped in a garbage bag buried under a log, but the adult supervisor told us it was nothing, so we just put it back and didn’t talk about it again.
3. The time I was getting chased through the woods at night and I realized “wait it’s dark as fuck” so I just held still until the guy gave up and left.
4. The time this dude said he was in love with me and so he was going to cut my head off and dump my body in a lake, so I told him to grow the hell up, but then he got caught stealing girl’s underwear a day later and I never saw him again
5. That one time in college where I was taking a shortcut on my home at night and a car followed me into a dark alley, so I stared directly into the driver’s side of the window and walked towards it to psych them out
6. The night I was out on a walk and this old guy told me he’d locked his keys in his truck and that he needed someone my size to crawl in through the back window for him, so I told him “you know that sounds super suspicious right” and told him where to find a pay phone for a tow truck instead
7. The one time this random guy on the street said he was in love with me and so he was going to follow me home on my bus, so I clapped him on the shoulder and told him that if he got that close to my bus then I was going to throw him under the wheels, but then this really nice homeless man from Nigeria told the guy to fuck off and then checked to make sure he didn’t follow me onboard
8. That big cat with yellow eyes who I found in a well and brought home who used to put rotting meat in my closet and wake me up by chewing on my face, until I put him back outside and never saw him again.
9. My one cousin who used to come over for the summer who kept calling me ‘piñata’ and hitting me with sticks, until he went back home and was sent to juvie cause he finally got caught torturing animals
10. The time I got lost on the way to a meeting and wound up at a circus tent instead, and got followed by a full-out clown for three vacant street blocks
11. The pet hamster I had when I was seven who would scream all night and eventually escaped by ripping a bar out of its cage and wiggling through the hole. My mom caught it and put it back but it lived another year and a half until one night the screaming just stopped
12. The time I was whistling in the woods and something started whistling back, so I went home
13. That one night at summer camp where a group of girls got together to play ‘bloody mary’ in the lavatory and invited me to come with them so I said “no thanks” and stayed with the camp councillors and drank soup instead.
14. The old abandoned house I just moved into with the door that leads into a big empty room full of dirt and empty cooking pots that I just sort of… locked up forever and never go near
15. Once when I was at an ihop I saw a coffee mug do a full 360º spin with nobody touching it, so I said ‘that was neat’ and never ate there again
16. The time I took a photo of a big old raven sitting on the crucifix on top of the old town church cause it was the most goth thing I’d ever seen, right? But then it swooped down towards me, so I apologized immediately for being rude, and I felt a little silly for a while but the car that hit me on the way home didn’t even leave a bruise so idk be nice to birds
Sorry I know I bring this shit up a lot but sometimes im awake at night and I just. keep thinking
I think the secret to survival is to be good to animals, stay away from men, and say “no thanks” to everything else
lol our society is so structured on binaries that people think cats are the opposite of dogs
we also regard dogs as “masculine” and cats as “feminine” to the point that it’s “weird” for men to love cats, women and gay men are stereotyped as liking cats, and creepiest of all, cats are stereotyped as “sexy” animals
Im 100% grossed out by this
this fits into my confusion as to why it’s perfectly acceptable to hate cats but blasphemy to hate dogs
That last comment just fucked me up
no more straight media.
in 2019 straights have no right to further representation unless one or both parties is otherwise LGBT. they’ve reached their quota, no more cishets allowed in public spaces.
i mean im not heterophobic buuut :/// do they really have to look at each other in public? i saw a straight couple holding hands at the store last week and i didn’t know what to do. what if they make my kids,,, straight? :///
no offense but, im so sick of them shoving it down my throat! we get it! you’re straight! again, no offense intended. just sick of having to exist in a time where they can just LIVE their LIVESand we’re not doing anything about it. :/
besides we know kids are only pretending to be straight for attention. they’re learning it from creeps on the internet! it’s only a fad. straight people didn’t even EXIST before wifi.
EVERYONE knows the bible says adam was in a loving committed relationship with his trans wife, eve. a cishet couple is just- UNNATURAL!! that is NOT what god intended when she made us!
oh no……………
THIS IS NOT A DOG IT IS A FURRY!
i’ve seen this picture a lot lately, and usually with really negative remarks, so i wanted to clarify some things.
this is a picture from a charity fundraiser for a children’s hospital that furries had raised $3,000 dollars for.. and in 2013 numerous furry conventions raised $189,820 for charities like Therapy Pets, NARF (a native american rights fund), and many wildlife preserve funds and shelters.
so yeah this person is dressed in an anthropomorphic suit and they’re being pet by a little kid, but there’s nothing inherent sexually about this (which is what im assuming most people have concerns about). cosplayers know that people and kids approach you for pictures all the time, and honestly this isn’t that different. this is just a kid who thought they were seeing a giant stuffed animal walking around and probably got excited. chill out you guys its not like the furry is getting ready to whip out a massive animal dong and slap people with it.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING. FURRIES ARE THE BEST PEOPLE EVER AND GET NO CREDIT FOR IT OMG
Also like to point out that just this week the Texas Furry Fiesta convention 2015 raised $16,000 for the Centre for Animal Research and Education.
A bunch of people in animal costumes raised all that money to help care for big cats raised in captivity, many of whom had been abandoned, abused and illegally bred. Thanks to the furries those animals can continue to live peacefully with medical care, food and companionship for the rest of their natural lives.
I just felt it was an interesting piece of recent news to share on the subject :)
Furries are a-ok in my book. Always have been. Sure there are some psychos and creeps but if I judged every fandom by the psychos I’ve met in them I’d hate EVERYTHING. Generally speaking all the furries I’ve ever encountered at cons or in the real world in general have been moderate, fun and HUGELY kind.
So, yeah. don’t be so quick to paint all furries with the same brush.
The biggest furry convention (anthrocon) raised $30,000 for the national aviary last year. Charity seems to be something furries are good at. But of course we don’t hear about that because People In Costumes Weird
I L O V E T H IS
Furries have saved my butt before, dude. Furry fandom will commission you when no one else will and they’ll INSIST on paying decent prices. I’ve ranted about this before but when my back went out for like a month, I did an emergency commissions fundraiser and people were sending me $$ even knowing I wouldn’t be able to draw until I got better. They paid my rent. And they were patient angels about getting their art.
Furries are phenomenally wonderful people.
Ya’ll are so quick to hate furries yet ignore the kind stuff half of the community does and honestly that’s kinda nasty.
Don’t worry us long in the tooth greymuzzles are used to it. But yeah, the stereotypical idea fueled by places like Something Awful and 4chan, is basically a minority.
