playing a new game where i talk about fandom using words that belong on corporate powerpoint slides like:

✨ we have to align our headcanons to authentically reflect our strategic mission and meet quarterly margin objectives ✨

sorry to everyone who understood that

[coraclavia]

as per my last 5+1,

[wrenchwenches]

Hello team, 

With all due respect, I cross-checked your references with Kakashi from accounting, and the error in your fics was statistically significant. Every fic published in our “Enemies to Lovers” tag after the most recent episode’s air date needs to be updated and reviewed due to new policies issued by the author. 

Please re-aquaint yourself with the source material before next week’s meeting and prepare to discuss the changes. 

Cheers!

[mylittleredgirl]

you guys are really good at this game

While I certainly appreciated your iniative in writing this AU, I feel it might be more appropriate to your skillset if you leveraged a canon approach.

me when i cant comprehend that different continents have different animals

the rest of the paragraph that was cut out in that screenshot literally explains the reasons behind the easter bilby and bluntly theyre minimising the impact that wild rabbits have had as an introduced species in our ecosystem.

the easter bibly was an ingenious campaign that builds in social awareness and change to an ongoing annual tradition without detracting from what that tradition represents. the choice behind it was intentional

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

To clarify we have the Easter Bunny also. The Easter Bilby used to be way more popular when I was a kid, we don't see it around as much now ( :( ) but you can still find it in some books and tv shows and chocolate and soforth.

Not sure why this is considered baffling. Rabbits are an ecological disaster here that should be killed on sight when possible; bilbies are an endangered native animal that needs to be protected. Seems like a pretty logical campaign.

If you live in a country where rabbits and hares are native, I’m sure they seem like such Normal and Unobjectionable animals that it’s confusing to think of them being genuinely destructive and unwelcome, but that’s how it is in Australia and to a less emphatic extent New Zealand (where we do have some chocolate Easter Kiwis, thank you Whittaker’s, but bunnies are still more common). It might help to remember that deer are not native here either, and also do a lot of damage and have to be culled. (Look up the Fiordland cryptid moose herd some time.). Most of the Normal Woodland Creatures in Europe and North America either are not found here or are introduced, invasive, destructive species that our native ecosystems did not evolve to cope with.

I mean pre-human settlement New Zealand didn’t even HAVE MAMMALS except for two small bats.

#what? just dropping that NZ info at the end?#seriously??

tis true, we're a geographical and evolutionary oddity. It's because of how isolated the country was after splitting off from Australia (we didn't get any marsupials in the breakup). Before the Māori got here around about 1250 CE and brought dogs and rats, the only land mammals in Aotearoa were these two species of small bats. Everything else was birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and oodles of invertebrates.

is reminded of that time the person in the leasing office was telling me about a person who let a bunny roam free in their apartment and when they went to move out and lifted up their couch they got to learn the horrifying fact that the bunny had chewed a very large hole all the way through their floor.

I was showing my class that, contrary to popular belief, divorce rates aren’t at an all-time high but actually peaked in the 80s. When I asked them why they thought divorce rates went up so quickly in the 60s-70s, none of them could guess. One guy thought it might be because of all the “free love,” drugs, etc but I told him it wasn’t all hippies getting divorces. Not a single one of them had any idea just how hard it was for women to leave an abusive marriage before the late 1960s at the earliest.

you should blow their minds even more with the murder death rate drop thing.
