HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE DUMPSTER FIRE THAT IS MY TUMBLR.

Hello hello! I’m Quill (u can also call me dishywishy)! I apologize that you ended up here but sometimes we have cool stuff so maybe look around? Like art because that’s something I post sometimes, and sometimes I post pictures that I’ve taken. Or something stupid I wrote for fun. Who knows what’s here? Because I sure as hell don’t.

TAGS YOU CAN USE TO FIND SHIT ON MY BLOG

#my art- On the off chance I post my art on Tumblr, this is gonna be the way to find it

#my writing- Use to find my writing whenever I occasionally post it

#my photography- These should be pretty self explanatory at this point

Wof tribes redesign again!!!!! Ive been figuring out how to make them quadroped wingwalkers with malleable hands in a way that i like. I gave them pterosaur swag cause theyre my fav beasts.

notes under tha cut

Ancestral traits of my headcannon tribes

feathers, exterior ears, six limbs, beaks with teeth, wing walking, thumb knucklewalking

skywings- upright posture with long long limbs, lacking a wing thumb for a more aerodynamic build, reduced tail. They have the hottest fire and hunt aerial prey, they are highly mobile in the air.

Icewings- tallest tribe, black skin under feathers. Clear feathers, feathers on neck modified to form shiny/pearlescent spikes. They rattle when they move and they persist ant hunt large land prey.

Nightwings- Covered in iridescent star spots, have grooves on their patagium to facilitate silent flight (a la owl), and have fluff around their beaks. They have really good hearing.

rainwings- Standard posture has flexible neck folded, feathers and scales can change color. Small, elliptical wings allow for fast pursuit through thick forest but are not good for long distance flight. Short legs are better for climbing then running.

Mudwing- Has tusks that grow through the lower jaw and thick armor and osteoderms. Secondarily featherless and wallow to avoid sun damage. Sit and wait ambush predators, a la crocodile, squat posture means they are not efficient walkers.

Sandwing- Long limbs, mane down back with quill spines. dark skin to protect against sun damage, Ossicones! Grapple flying prey and immobilize them with their tail stingers.

Seawings- Largest dragons, thick webbed spines on back that can flatten down, short wings permit flight but are not efficient. Better at swimming then walking or flying. Barbles on face are sensory organs.

i plan on designing clothes for these things at some point

Me with this genius take:

My lovely roommate: “If you were a household item, you would be a sticky trap.”

[gorreality-deactivated20170927]

“I can’t be vegan, I love cheese”

Dairy industry is as evil as meat. No less harm for animals. Does it look natural that calf can’t drink milk so you can taste your piece of cheese? 

GO VEGAN. 

[smellyoldblanket]

WRONG

That calf is wearing a nose tag. Nose tags are put on calves so that they are able to stay with their mothers longer, but are unable to nurse. They don’t NEED to nurse as they get older, they just get greedier and pushier and will bash up the cow’s udder and bruise it with their noses.

This nose-tag is so that calves can stay with their mothers, their mothers can remain pain-free and healthy, and nobody is stressed.

Educate yourselves you ignorant fucking tarts.

[horseandarcher-deactivated20150]

…really? You don’t think it might have anything to do with the milk being stolen for human consumption? At all? Not even a tiny bit?

[the-gay-is-over9000]

Militant vegans can fuck right off

[periegesisvoid-deactivated]

Based on fur texture and face shape, that calf is at least six months old, probably older.  Calves can survive without actual cow milk even at three months, though older is better (calves weaned that early are usually fed a sort of formula for another couple months).

Also, nose tags like that one don’t go through the cow’s septum.  They basically work like those fake septum rings for humans.

In addition to weaning the calves, another use for nose tags is protecting non-lactating cows.  Sometimes weanlings or even adult cows will suck on themselves or other non-lactating cows; this can cause internal teat scarring bad enough to prevent that teat or teats from ever working.  I’ve seen this happen, and it’s ugly, probably at least somewhat painful, and, if bad enough, would lead to the cow being slaughtered at a very young age because she can’t produce milk, has chronic mastitis, and/or can’t be milked with automatic milking equipment.  So, nose tags actually prevent animal cruelty.

Also, calves will suck on anything remotely oblong (and attempt to eat literally anything), even if they are being adequately fed or overfed.  Often they will suck on other calves’ ears, and, since ears are longer than teats and cows have upper as well as lower teeth in the back of their mouths, many calves get bites on their ears, which often become severely infected.  I’m not sure if nose tags would work there, because physics—a non-toxic but bad-tasting ear paint would be better—but yeah, letting a calf put anything it wants in its mouth is not always a good idea.

[gonnagoandrunwiththehorses-deac]

This was the funniest argument about false cruelty I have read.. Thank you. 

[namesnotfred]

I love this for 2 reasons: Most people don’t realize that in farming areas agriculture/horticulture/animal husbandry is part of public school education from as early on as 7th grade. (Though I remember dissecting cow eyes in 4th grade science sooo) I assure you fifteen year old farm kids know more about what constitutes animal cruelty in farms than thirty year old vegans with, or without an agenda. 

Also that if you really want good quality beef/pork/eggs/milk/etc you don’t abuse your animals. Ever. That’s not the point and if you want to make any kind of money off your career choice, you are going to treat those creatures better than you treat yourself. You’ll call a vet five times for an infection in your herd before you visit the hospital for a missing foot on your own leg. 

So. Yeah. Watch out, because we’re getting internet access these days. We’re on tumblr too. 

[somejane-deactivated20200807]

P.S. The immigrant workers farming your supermarket produce have no health care or legal protection, and the Bolivians farming your 365 Organic Quinoa can’t afford to eat it. But PLEASE won’t someone think of the poor baby cows who won’t get off the tit?!

[thehornedwitch-deactivated20211]

Also this is a LOT nicer than what mother cows do to calves that won’t be weaned. You know what mother cows do to calves that won’t wean? kick them in the head. Now I don’t know about vegans, but I’d rather have a nose tag that discouraged me from injuring my mother (because calves that don’t wean tend to chew on udders and make mother cows bleed) rather than being kicked in the head. Source: I grew up on a fucking cattle ranch. I have seen chickens skeletonize a mouse I KNOW SHIT.

[thesociaijusticecourier-deactiv]

“I have seen chickens skeletonize a mouse I KNOW SHIT.”

I’m sorry, what? What??? WHAT??? you can’t just leave it there please explain @thehornedwitch

[thehornedwitch-deactivated20211]

Happy to explain! See, chickens are omnivorous. They eat bugs, plants, and meatstuffs. Y'know how crows and ravens and things eat meat? Well, chickens too. Ours had a particular fondness for ham when someone accidentally put it into the bucket of good scraps we set aside for the chickens. A bucket we tried to keep as meat-free as possible, because few things are more terrifying than a chicken looking you in the eyes as it scarfs down ham. Anyway, back to the mouse. One day i was doing Chicken Chores, like gathering eggs, putting out grain, emptying the bucket of greens, etc, when a mouse runs across the pen. All at once, eight or so chickens stop dead, look at it, and SWARM. Now I’m six at this point in time and developing a healthy fear of chickens, and so do nothing. By the time the chickens are done, all that is left of the mouse is its bones. I left the chicken pen very, very quickly. Chickens crave meat. They were dinosaurs. They did not forget that they were dinosaurs. They will also cannibalize each other with reckless abandon. Sometimes we just had to remove one chicken to its own private pen away from the others because no matter what we did, that specific one always tried to eat the other chickens. We had one that really liked other chicken’s eyes. Bear in mind, our pens ensured each chicken had about five to six square feet all its own if you managed to space every chicken out evenly, we never locked them in teensy pen things, and fed them LOTS. These chickens just really, really wanted to maim. Chickens that are not Buff Orpingtons are the devil. Buff Orpingtons are sweethearts. If you must have chickens, have that kind. And never get Guineas. Guineas are SATAN INCARNATE. THEY SMELL FEAR.

[rossmallo]

Holy shit, I dont think I’ll ever use chicken as an insult again. 

[dustypumpkin]

Holy Shit, same here that is terrifying

[vinato71]

Will I’m using it as a compliment

[satanstruemistress]

I love farm animals.

[devil-in-red-deactivated2019010]

“Chickens crave meat. They were dinosaurs. They did not forget that they were dinosaurs.”

If you’ve ever looked a chicken in the eye you know that they don’t just remember; they’re patiently awaiting the day they become dinosaurs again.

I have reblogged this before because watching farmers school vegans is always hilarious, but now we’re into birds, specifically fowl, and I have got stories.

I had to give my turkey an antibiotic injection once upon a time, and she turned the needle puncture into a six inch by three inch hole in her back overnight as she attempted to eat herself because apparently turkeys find themselves to be delicious. She had to spend 3 months duct taped into a tea towel (the bandages underneath cleaned and replaced daily, mind you) until it healed because she would not stop ripping the bandages off to continue consuming herself.

Your chickens strip a mouse to the bone? Mine draw and quarter them and run around with the parts shrieking. My peacocks grab mice, beat them to death on the ground with this insanely fast back and forth head twisting motion, and then swallow them whole. You would not think an entire adult mouse would fit in their face, and you would be wrong.

I knew a guy that used to regularly post photos of the 5-6′ long Copperhead snakes his peafowl would destroy. And I don’t mean kill, I mean destroy. These venomous snakes would get into the pens and the peas would just peck them into oblivion like nbd.

Fowl didn’t just used to be dinosaurs. They are still dinosaurs.

Thankfully they are small dinosaurs

and we can just tape them into tea towels if we have to

[crimsonclad]

BEGGING for a Jurassic Park reboot where farmers run the place instead of brogrammer scientists, and the raptors frequently get scolded and taped into tea towels

[tathrin]

Okay so honesty time I may be a vegetarian but it’s not because I give two shits about cows to be honest but THAT STUFF ABOUT THE BIRDS IS INCREDIBLE! Please folks if you started to scroll past this like I did STOP AND SCROLL BACK UP TO READ ABOUT THE MURDERBIRDS.

Even our little animals are terrifying and dangerous…

We live on a death world, and that is probably why aliens are afraid to make contact.

[welcometotheravenclawcommonroom]

I didn’t even grow up on a farm, although I do have a fair amount of experience with animals.  I have been riding horses since I was nine years old and have one of my own, and I also helped take care of my neighbours chickens before she saw all the scars I was getting on my legs and decided the fresh eggs weren’t worth the disfigurement of her favourite adopted neice.  Anyway, I had to go into this pen with a fucking RAKE and wave it at them so I could reach the food and water bowls to fill them.  The rooster would ‘spur’ me (slice me open with a claw) whenever he had the chance.  And even though I WOULD BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THIS TINY MONSTER DINO-FOWL EVERY TIME, HE WOULD DO IT AGAIN WHENEVER HE GOT THE CHANCE!  I have some pretty boss scars on my legs and behind one knee from that bastard.  I will eat chicken out of spite now even if I’m not craving it, thinking of that monster the whole time.

As someone who grew up on a farm, this post is absolutely everything.

[dishywishy]

Back in high school I became the go to sacrifice for the chickens on our school farm because I was too small to be appetizing to them. No one else wanted to clean the chicken pen or the coop because our roosters were VICIOUS. They were big boys and loved to spur you as soon as the gate opened. But my lovely agriculture teacher was quick to realize I don’t fear god or death and decided I was the Official Chicken Sacrifice until I graduated. I bribed my way into a chicken peace treaty with cheese until I could grab a rooster and chase people with it. Those were the good old days.

I even took home a bunch of chicks one of our hens hid from us and now have little murder dinosaurs of my own. Complete with assholish tendencies and a habit of spurring people.

I love it!

I like it, but it could be better.

Eh. I guess it's tolerable.

I don't like it.

My existence is a joke.

this tiktok screenshot ruined my life i need to see the serbian pigeon movie so so badly but it doesn't exist it's so foul to make this bad of a point with something so cool and then take it away from me.

[deseretgear]

Tiktok marvel fans really will be out here like "movie fan SHOCKED because i'd rather watch superhero movie #54 in blue and not a sensual 1987 french horror film about a man discovering his wife may not exist set in what is gradually revealed to be a space station" as if you're supposed to agree that superhero movie #54 is the clear winner in this comparison

[kirbymongerr]

Love the idea of a story about a complex issue that's told from the perspective of something that cannot comprehend or care about the issue. The way the story would be sliced up and moments that a human would consider pointless would be focused on because the pigeon happened to be there would be hype as fuck

[beardedmrbean]

[silken-scarves]

Ok FINE I made the movie poster of it

Mališa, otherwise known as Little One, is a pet pigeon owned by a conservative butler of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. She is loved, and she is pampered— until her owner is murdered in cold blood, and she is left to fend for herself in Sarajevo.

In the wilds of the city, she feeds from the poor, working nationalist radicals, and the vieux riches alike.

To Mališa, there are no ethical concerns. No politics. No burgeoning nationalism.

There are only hands that feed her, and hands that do not.

*cries in college work*

I did NOT draw as much as I would have liked this year. But this is what I do have for the summary

July’s piece is Goby, drawn during artfight for mars111 https://artfight.net/attack/7511523.goby

August’s piece is Arjan, also drawn during artfight for Potato_boi https://artfight.net/attack/8588396.quest-for-the-green-otter-pop

NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT SOME OF MY ARTS. PUT SOME MEAT ON THE BONES OF THIS POST

May’s piece is of Aubrey! I allowed myself one overly edgy oc and it’s Aubrey! https://toyhou.se/27069507.aubrey-mcfarlen

June. June is Scooter. Scooter is my son turned daughter dnd character. Scooter went from a meme character to war traumatized queen’s guard by the end campaign. It was a WILD ride. Might be a post about Scooter at some point. Fun fact: Scooter got turned into a girl by a magic chicken. A chicken that turned out to be GOD. Not a joke the chicken was a literal god.

September’s piece of Creature. I wrote a series of short stories for a class and they all featured Creature. My first dabbling in writing horror resulted in this guy. Love him very much. Hopefully I’ll have a fully rendered spooky drawing him soon because I need others to experience Him.

October is fakemon! I’m working on a fan region in my smooth little brain, based on the American Midwest, and this line was the first Pokémon I had a full concept for. They live in limestone caves and are often blamed for sinkholes. I’ll make a full post for them at some point once I have their dex entries and whatnot done.

I feel like a lot of people can guess what December is. I plead the fifth.

Lots of art growth and learning happened this year, even though a lot of art wasn’t done this year. But hey. WE SURVIVED. ONWARDS TO 2025

I will make no opinion statements on the morality of the UHC shooting. What I will say is the trial is a fucking joke. Way the make our already horrific criminal justice system more of a laughing stock. Presumption of innocence? Never heard of it. Judges rescinding themselves because of a conflict of interest? When was that something they were supposed to do.

They’re making a spectacle out of this whole situation. Not beating the scapegoat allegations with this guys.

This whole case is just making a mockery of our court system and civil rights. It’s a massive joke. At this point there’s been enough official misconduct that if Luigi has a good lawyer he could (in a perfect world where the system isn’t corrupt) probably get the charges dropped.

I take my wallet out of my pocket and unfold it. It is empty other than a single moth that lazily flies out. The moth lands on the tap point of the card reader. There's a beat, and my payment is processed. The moth flies back into my wallet and I put it back in my pocket.

I think it might be possible to put a tap chip on a moth. THIS COULD BE REAL
