Santa is on strike due to global warming.  All presents this year will be delivered by Sasha the Christmas Tiger.  Milk and cookies may not be sufficient.

“MUST BRING PRESENTS TO GOOD CHILDREN”

“Yes good”

“AND EAT THE BAD ONES”

“Wait no”

“EAT THEM”

“sasha no”

[tolkientrash]

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

She is making a list

It is not easy with her paws but she is making it

[iguanamouth]

[miscriont]

Okay fine this is the ONE Christmas thing I will reblog before Thanksgiving BUT THAT’S IT

[craptaztic]

SASHA’S BACK ON MY DASH!

[mace-from-outerspace]

Y’all better behave, you have two months

[aseriouscomedian]

You better watch out

You better watch out

You better watch out

Sasha the Christmas tiger my absolute beloved

[kyraneko]

Ah, a splendid specimen of the Yule Cat.

Scientific name Felis navidad, of course.

emerging from months of slumber be like:

@whatishowedyouinthedark I live in your attic btw

[separatist-apologist]

No need to message me about the behavior of eluciens because once again, I am not their mom. If I was in charge of them, though, I'd tell them to be a lot meaner to y'all.

[deaiquiri]

this was not how I wanted to learn I was adopted

Weird when you first start paying attention to animal noises and realize they don't actually sound like the words we use

[teaboot]

Like. I've never heard a duck go "Quack." Duck goes WAUK or ERK or HEHHHHH-HHH-H-H, if it's a Muskovy

Chickens are the most accurate with the buk-buk-buk noise, and baby chicks do in fact go "peep", but the "peep" is really more of a squeaky beEEP and adult hens will also bwuAAAAAAAAAAK-AUK-AUK-AUK-AUK.

Roosters do NOT "cock-a-doodle-doo", though. Roosters ER ER-ER ER ERRRRRRRR and they will do it at all ungodly hours of the day from sunrise to sunset.

Cows, again, pretty close with "Moo", but it feels like it needs an "r" in there somewhere. Like mmMMOUuuuure.

Sheep. Sheep really do actually "baa". I can't argue with that. Though an adult might also Phbrbobrbr, and a lamb will mostly MAAAH.

Horse sounds like NH-Hh-Hh-Hhr, or Pphft, or RIIIIII if shit's going down. So I guess "neigh" is fine.

Pigs. Pigs... they'd cab say oink, but only 'cause I don't know how to spell a deep, phlegmy sinus snort with English letters. f'gĥŭrhk, maybe. Pigs are beyond mortal laws.

Dog goes BOOF or Aurk or AuoooooooOOOOO unless it is a Husky or a Beagle. Husky goes AWOWOWOWOWOWeeeeeswAAAAUUGGHGGGGHGGOOOOIOOORAURAURAURA. Beagle goes weeeIGHIHIGHIGHIGHIWROWOOOOOWBROUROUROURBROUGHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH in the voice of a dying adult man

Cat makes whatever noise it fucking wants

And turkeys, of course, say mrrrrr or WOBBLEOBBLEOBBLEOBBLEOBBLE all together at the same time like a terrifying hivemind. This is known

[cephalon-sancti]

Animal sounds books say rabbits don't say anything. This is incorrect.

Rabbit says HMPH! and hmMMM and huhnh-huhnh-hunhn and hnNN, most importantly, THUMP!

[sainamoonshine]

Rabbits also say squeek squeek squeek HONK

[random-questions-fairy]

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

[theredscreech]

Heads up that this is a very extensive questionnaire and might be daunting to a lot of writers (myself included). That being said, it is also an amazing questionnaire and I will definitely be using it (or at the very least, some of it).

This inspired me to see if Patricia C. Wrede’s Worldbuilding Questions are still online, and not only are they, they’re on the exact same page I saw them on in 1998. Somewhere there’s a binder of the Word doc I made of all of them and the answers I filled in for Baby’s First Fantasy World

[tenderwatches]

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

[deaiquiri]

ooo this is delicious thank you

4 top letterbox films.

I have NO idea what letterbox is, but here's the 4 I chose that I could rewatch literally any day, in no special order:

Spirited Away.

The Lion King.

Naruto Shippuden The Movie: The Lost Tower.

Knives Out.

thank you for tagging me @leatherandtea !! <3

Seven sentence snippet.

When you two @whatishowedyouinthedark and @thesistersarcheron tagged me in this I had absolutely nothing, so here's finally a little piece! Thank you for tagging me :3

"You knew!" Feyre had hissed out an accusation. Her mother had shushed her with nothing but a quick glare—a reminder to keep her mouth shut beneath this mountain. The Lady of Night had the nerve to look somewhat smug despite being complicit in a—in a crime! A crime of keeping such important knowledge from Feyre who'd been dying to learn anything of Rhysand's return home. Her entire body buzzed with anticipation. It's been so long, she'd changed so much—suddenly, all worries that had plagued her heart felt meaningless and vain compared to finally, finally having her brother back. But the moment of their reunion wasn't nearly as perfect as she'd imagined. It was catastrophic.

[deaiquiri]

blooming at night, thriving in darkness

Feysand, Feyre-is-Rhysand's-sister-Night-Court-AU (yes, read it again)

E | 9k | 1/? (????????)

Summary:

It was pointless to resist. The moment she allowed those thoughts about her elder brother to enter her mind, it felt as if the Mother herself tilted Feyre's head, unhinged her jaw and poured the sweet poison down her throat. It seeped into her veins. It filled her fragile heart. It willed her to pulse and ache between her legs. It made her loathe herself like never before.

Read on AO3.

Fanfiction writers are y'all ok?

[merwild]

Inspiration is not always there when we need it but I still wanted to share these unfinished arts of Feyre and Rhysand because I’m so excited for ACOWAR!!!

The first was the scene in the summer court, when Feyre makes water float around them. The second was the bathtub scene, right before Feyre cleans Rhysand’s wings. I’m sad I never finished them but they felt visually flat and I couldn’t keep working on them. Thought I was quite happy with the faces, especially in the second drawing.
