Appreciation post for the smartest person in the MCU.

i don't really understand why you would be pro-zoo. like i understand nature reserves and sanctuaries where people can observe from afar, but it doesn't seem right to me when they're locked up in generally small confined areas for people to watch them do nothing all day. idk maybe i'm getting this wrong, and i still really respect you, i just don't understand this. like i interned at a zoo and felt uncomfortable with how small their living areas were and how they had no stimulation

Zoos don’t look like this anymore.

They look like this:

Good zoos do not keep their animals in “tiny spaces” with no enrichment.  I’m not pro-roadside zoo.  I’m pro-accredited zoo.  Zoos are incredibly important for conservation and education.

Are Zoos Necessary?

There should be way more pictures of modern zoos so i just add some more

[merp-a-derp69-deactivated201808]

Seriously zoos do so much important conservation work as well I hate when people shit all over zoos as if the animals are locked up and not looked after

[nyxetoile]

The SF Zoo has two sea lions. Now, if you know SF, you know that sea lions are a Thing. They’re all over Pier 39 and various other beaches in N California. In fact, the zoo is near the ocean, so there are sea lions not 200 yards from the zoo entrance. So having sea lions in the zoo seems sort of superfluous.

Except the sea lions are blind. One was found as an adult after suffering a gun shot wound to the face that destroyed his eyes. The other was found as an adolescent, weak and starving because it had been blinded and unable to hunt. So they were rescued and introduced and the zoo built them a nice pool where they can swim and sunbathe and people toss them fish. It’s not the biggest exhibit, or the fanciest. But it’s a home for them, where they’re safe and well fed. Sea lions aren’t the most romantic of animals, but they’re a part of SF culture and a lot of us have a soft spot for the loud, bulbous things. And because of zoos, these two get to live long, happy lives.

Whenever anyone complains about zoos, I think about Silent Knight and Henry.

I think it’s St. Louis zoo that is saving big cats in Africa. Scientists couldn’t figure out what was killing off the local lion population. They were dying off from Canine Distemper. The local unvaccinated dogs of the towns would spread the disease to other animals or have it themselves. When the lions ate the infected animals they would catch it as well. You know what that Zoo is doing to stop this disease? They are going over to those towns and vaccinating the dogs for free. The community loves it and people from other villages comes for miles to get their dogs vaccinated as well.

They also do work with camel populations because the local human population use the camels for food sources the zoos help monitor the camels health.

Another zoo, I want to say it’s the Oregon zoo but don’t quote me on that, is helping female inmates. The zoo works with the female prisons by encouraging the inmates to assist in the breeding and raising of endangered species of butterflies. They plant the specific plants that the butterflies and catapillars need, raise them, and release them. These inmates get noted in any scientific journals that get published. They are giving these inmates a sense of accomplishment and validation.

Zoos not only save species but bring together and assist communities in an effort to save the environment. Zoos, good zoos, are essential to the future and I will fight anyone who tries to say otherwise.

PS you don’t see PETA doing any of this.

Father uses sons’ drawings as inspiration for anime transformations

Wholesome and badass

[ambris]

The father’s artistic talent is clearly on display here, but I’m actually really impressed with this kid’s wild imagination. Many of his drawings are both conceptually unique and coherent.

Concept: That scene in every 90s high school movie where someone shows the new kid around the cafeteria (”that table is the nerds, those are the jocks, the goths, the cheerleeders” etc) except it’s a medieval tavern and each table has a different d&d class.

[hungrylikethewolfie]

Those are the arcane casters. They all sit together, but the wizards think the sorcerers are undisciplined cheaters and the sorcerers think the wizards are pretentious dicks. You don’t wanna get in the middle of that–the last person who tried got polymorphed into a toad. I guess he had a lot of debts he was looking to get out of, though, so he just rolled with it. He’s somebody’s familiar now, I think.

The bards used to sit with them, but they broke off a while ago to do their own thing. Look, I should tell you right now: you’re poetically gonna sleep with at least one of them. It’s happened to most of us, so don’t be embarrassed. If you’re lucky, you might get away with just a ballad to your beauty parodying an 80s rock hit.

The paladins are at the next table over. Religious freaks, but if you’re getting bullied they’ll have your back even if they don’t know you. You, uh…you might end up sleeping with some of them, too. Look, they’re really good listeners, okay? Whatever.

The druids. Don’t even THINK of trying to sit with them unless you’re rocking a negative carbon footprint. Or if you can turn into a bear or a slow loris or something, they love that shit.

The rogues are…they’re around here somewhere.

Best things about the CR cast:

- When Liam feels any emotion and CHUCKS his glasses across the table

- When one of Sam’s ads actually breaks Taliesin and he just collapses at the table

- When they manage to surprise Matt so bad he goes “Shit, okay”

- Ashley’s “okay okay okay” as she tries to calm herself down and decide what to do

- When Travis figures out a reveal before everyone else and starts pointing wildly

- The fact that Marisha and Matt go get Taco Bell together after stressful episodes

- When BWF and Tal start reminiscing about incredibly specific and NSFW experiences they’ve had in LA.

- When they get an important piece of paper and Laura scrambles to find her glasses

- “I can’t do (totally plausible thing), can I?” -Sam

- When Liam refuses to say an NPC’s name right and Travis is forced to beg Matt for their lives

- When Marisha got the morning after letter from Keg, and launched herself into another dimsension.

- When Laura and Sam start drawing dirty pictures and giggle like school children

- When Matt brings out a map and they all give the most excited and encouraging comments to him about how cool it looks

- Ashley’s little :-0 face whenever a plot point she missed comes up in a game and she thinks it’s cool

- When Taliesin refuses to not be hopelessly bisexual, supremely goth, and horny on main

- When Marisha tries to do some weird monk shit and gives Matt a goofy smile, like she’s trying to charm the dice into cooperation

- When Sam drunk-cried on AWNP because he loves his family and friends so much

- Whenever Matt checks in with everyone to make sure they’re still having fun with such earnestness in his voice

- When Tal and Travis are on talks together and look like a weird high school couple with an awkward size difference

PLEASE add more.

[luckthebard]

- When Liam paused the game to very earnestly tell Matt how good he is at DM-ing, and Matt got all flustered

- When Dani yells at Brian for joking about character deaths (Brian FOSTER!)

- Laura’s victory dance when she rolls a Nat 20

- Liam’s chant of “Not my babies…not my babies” while watching Marisha and Sam spin fire on AWNP

- When Marisha compliments Matt on character voices/rp (”That’s a great octopus, babe!”)

[captain-narava-felidae-riggs]

- When anyone mentions Taliesin being an immortal eldritch being, and he doesn’t even bother to deny it

[mistergandalf]

- Sam’s “oh boy” when he rolls badly 

- Travis’s EXTREME REACTIONS whenever anything exciting happens

- Marisha and Liam collapsing on each other with laughter

- Laura and Sam arguing about whether it actually makes a difference to use different dice

- “I’m gonna do something weird” - Taliesin

- When the whole cast marvels at Matt’s mind

[ihaveseentruebravery]

Whenever Travis or Ashley hide in their shirts when they’re nervous

Whenever someone makes a joke and 2/3 of the people around the table collapse into laughter

Any of the times face-scrunching happens because of gross descriptions

Whenever anyone randomly breaks into song and everyone joins in (“Siiiilver thread, siiiilver thread… It’s murder tiiiiime in the campiiiing”.)

Anytime any of them are amazed by the variety of sounds and voices Matt makes and lose their shit about it.
