take my mermaid quiz boy

If you were a mermaid, what animal form would your lower half take? Are you a slithery eel, a powerful shark, or maybe a colorful reef fish?

[aortichound]

This quiz sent my aquatic side a bit wild, here’s my result!!

Funny enough I’ve been questioning orca for a while, this quiz is so fun and defo recommend taking it just do be aware that if you’re prone to shifts like me you might get a little worked up from a few images or questions, either way defo recommend trying this out :3

[boyfa1lure]

I sat with mama in the fields, I watched her coat glint in the light as the golden tones of her fur helped me find her as she grazed but I decided to bounce around yet I started to notice her attention wasn’t on me that didn’t seem important until I saw her pause to look up so I followed suit, my ears raising as I heard dogs barking which my brain put the pieces together before I did that it was hunters leaving me to try combat the shaking in my legs to chase mama because I didn’t want to get left alone since I knew not being in the herd meant I would be the prey for those humans, my legs ached yet that soreness felt like nothing as I felt my fetlock hit something cold then the blood started to seep down into my fur, I went to jerk back but then I heard the “Don’t.” So my eyes looked behind me because it wasn’t like you’d exactly ignore a voice telling you no when you were in a barbed wire, I saw the black fur of her before I fully processed her being there behind me slowly starting to approach me which her mane was scruffy enough I recognised her as one of those mustangs I heard mama talking about, she tugged the wire off me gently so when I pulled my leg away I didn’t see too much blood as she licked it but I still had to ask “Where’s mama? Who are you?” She stiffened at that which I felt a little squirmy as her eyes met mine with that cold sympathy “Your mother isn’t coming back, you’ll stick with me for now, I’m your protector.” I didn’t quite believe her, nobody would when they heard something like that “But mama wouldn’t leave me behind!” My voice was squeakier than I remembered it being which that almost got under my coat as much as the way she softly stated “She did, no mare leaves a foal behind in a full gallop without turning back unless they plan to use that foal as bait.” It took a moment until I heard my own voice yet I swore I didn’t use it “Oh.” She looked at me, pressing her muzzle between my ears to guide me so I’d walk beside her a distant part of me recognised the way she kept me almost under her legs as a way to guard me like how the other mares in my herd used to when their foals got injured while the rest of me was still stuck in the shock of realising what mama did and I think she started to notice that because she nuzzled into my forelock to groom me, it didn’t feel fully real when my brain was still caught on noticing that mama had never really paid attention to me now she had just left so easily it seemed like I wasn’t even her foal until I felt that short nip to my ear “Hey.” I perked my ears up, glancing back at her while she spoke “I know it hurts, you have to keep moving though.” Her words were like a trigger as I saw my legs moving before I even started the process of doing that myself however part of me knew she didn’t mean my fetlock she meant my mind yet I still kept walking until we eventually reached fields with warm soft grass covering rolling hills, she moved forward before I did and it clicked that this was my new home now so I got comfortable in the grass letting it swallow me whole the same way I let my mind pace back and forth against my skull realising that I had a new mama, a kinder one who’d keep me safe despite this home not having fences to guard us just the warmth of bodies with the cold hard surface of hooves as defence against predators despite that this place felt safer than my old home used to feel, I got to lay down here knowing I was watched and this time I wouldn’t get left behind in a chase again so now I could see the way her black coat swallowed the sun against it which even if she lacked my white markings or copper tones I felt like I had more resemblance with her than the mare that had birthed me.

I’m working on my pronouns.cc which yaaay wooohooo yippeee!! But also that’s brought me this hyper specific nerdy problem

Working on canine and feline sections of my type list (yes I’m putting EVERY type here I need somewhere to track them) yet that’s provided me the problem of where do I stick hyena?? They’re technically not canines yet they also aren’t felines even if that’s the closest thing, however they’re still in their own label so it feels best to put it in miscellaneous but I wanna put it in canine since that’s how I’ve always categorised it in my head when I do my type lists plus they’re usually involved in wild canine stuff (from a scientific basis) so it’s not out of nowhere still idk cause I can’t find a spot to put it that feels right

Got me looking like this over what was meant to be a simple task I could work on in a few bursts instead of overthinking it

PSA on toewalking

Ok, I'm directing this at alterhumans, quadrobists and autistics, because the venn diagram between these three things is basically a circle.

I need you guys to know that if you walk on your tiptoes all day everyday, especially in childhood/adolescence, the back muscles in your legs can end up much shorter than they need to be. This means that any time you stand normally your legs will be in pain because your calves will be constantly tense and straining, and this can affect every other joint and muscle in your legs.

I'm chronically in pain and likely permanently disabled because my legs physically don't cope with standing or walking. I'm almost never fully comfortable, even when I'm lying down. I need to take anti inflammatory pills daily and wear medical insoles to function, and even then I'm in constant pain. Running, going long distances, and walking up stairs are all extremely difficult tasks with tedious consequences for me. I didn't even know until very recently that your average abled Joe can stand for more than an hour before he feels any discomfort. It's genuinely unfathomable to me because I'll be upright for maybe two minutes till I'll want to sit back down again. I toewalked nearly every day for all my life till I was medically advised to stop. There's an incredibly high chance that my disability was caused primarily by this.

You might be able to convince yourself you could handle being sore 24/7 but I'm gonna be real: pain is exhausting. It takes a huge toll on your mind and body even when you learn to tune it out. Most chronically ill people can't have the same energy or stamina as healthy folk. I have less time in the day than you because I spend so long lying down just trying to recover energy, regardless of how draining my mental health situation happens to be at the time.

Now I'm not saying it's guaranteed you'll become permanently mobility impaired (I was already hypermobile and I've personally got an inconsistent relationship with fitness anyway) but it's damn likely. If you do quadrobics, if you toewalk for the leg euphoria, even if you're just in it for the love of the game, for God's sake get yourself acquainted with calf and ankle stretches. Before I was medicated there was a decent period where I couldn't leave the house on my own. Even nowadays I struggle with travelling anywhere on foot. Don't let this happen to you if you can help it!

[aortichound]

Popping this here because it’s helpful info, remember to do your stretches y’all!! The body aches when it’s not stretched for a reason

[theta-scenario]

I know most of the councils haven't been declared yet, and Reform don't overtly control any yet, so I shouldn't freak out too hard, but... good god.

[aortichound]

this is such a mood currently, trying not to freak out but holy moly is it insane to see the results

ILL GET THEM THE TOMATOES WONT GET U

[aortichound]

You’re haunting me with this

[aortichound]

the fields were calm today, warm with a nice breeze but that wasn’t the main factor of the day, rather the celebration would adorn the day with a brilliance few days get to boast so I sat waiting for the cowboy to show, eventually my ears perked as I heard the song made by paws hitting the floor so I waited until I could nip at you as to which I managed to drag you in with me, by that time you had already allowed that defeat since it wasn’t like you could do much against a determined mare afterall and now I drag you past the daises towards the bushier grass, dropping you gently on the field before pushing down till my fetlocks hit the floor and I felt my hocks join them not too long, I watched as you scrambled up off those paws to actually sit before staring down at the messy blanket with a few berries scattered around before pointing to me “Is this your version of a picnic?” I blew back at you, a small shake of my nose as I felt the grass get too close to my nostrils for comfort as I got more comfortable with the way I planted myself on the ground, I let you use me as furniture out of my own generosity and also the fact I didn’t really feel bothered enough to chase you around the field today, I plucked the hat off your head then laid my head on your lap as you gathered what I had scavenged to eat while commenting “They’re going to so laugh at this.” I returned a snort in response, my ears flicking back while I tugged on your tail as I glanced up since I couldn’t be bothered to correct that “They’re going to laugh at you, cowboy.” But I knew you’d already tell that considering my smugness, you didn’t complain so I just watched as you ate then I tugged you down by the collar for a cuddle as we sat in the calmness of the paddock and I knew that even if it was your day, I’d remember this for a while. The sun seemed to know that too since it graced us with a orange view while we sat together, breathing in sync as we just communicated by thought instead of word, we both knew that yeah a werewolf with his mare looked ridiculous but we were happy with that. We were happy just being, that was enough for me and I could tell it was enough for you too, cowboy.

Making this specifically to show asher something so everyone else gets this as a treat

[cannibalmukbang]

I hate Americans so much. I just put on a shark week special called 'Alien sharks: Death down under" and its about a guy injecting himself with Port Jackson shark venom to see what happens and I click the thing. And he's a fucking yank. and he says "everything in Australia can kill you!" like 4 times. I want to kill someone.

I get that you all constantly have to demonise and degrade other countries so you feel less bad about living in the #1 country that nobody would miss if it got nuked, I do understand this, but can you at least pick a new cliche? Because Australia actually has the worst extinction and deforestation rates in the global north and when people act like our wildlife is evil and not worth saving it makes me really fucking sad.

[aortichound]

popping this here because it’s important, remember guys there’s no such thing as evil wildlife and everything deserves saving. Including the scary venomous creatures, including the scary aggressive creatures, including scary creatures in general. Everything deserves its conservation and not conserving one species means conserving none because a species disappearing will affect another then the entire ecosystem. Let’s get some more love for Australia’s creatures!
