Commissions Open!
Hey, so my current laptop is 10 years old and I'm an artist who would like to keep creating without my programs lagging on me every 10 minutes. If anyone would like to help fund a new faster PC, contact me via DMs to order a commission. More info can be found on dragonpigeons.carrd.co .

Fanfiction is great because you can see so clearly how people learn to write.
Some people, it's clear, learned almost entirely through absorbing the world around them. Grammar and punctuation will be all over the place, spellings are approximate, but the voice of the narration will come through so clearly. You can hear the dialect of the people around them as of they're telling the story. It's not a written story, it's a transcription of how they talk in their day to day life.
Some people learned through reading a gazillion books as a kid. Grammer and spelling will be rock solid, formatting occasionally based on the single tab of physical books rather than the double tab of online scrolling, but dialogue is often stilted and overly formal. You might notice a lack of contractions and very rigid rules they made for consistency that actually have a lot more flexibility than they think. They tend to have a fantastic grasp of sentence flow, though.
And other people formally learned how to write. This could be anywhere from taking school classes seriously because they enjoyed writing stories as a kid to literal certifications and jobs in the field. Grammer is flawless. Punctuation is triple checked. Foreign words are in italics. Characters have distinct voices. But their self indulgence is tempered by perfectionism. They know precisely what they want from a fic. Authors notes often feature mutterings about their happiness with the chapter. Kaomojis often appear! They seek a style to their writing, and it makes for some wonderfully clever plots! These are the ones most likely to get fun with formatting!
And some people.... Some people examined it all. They dissect dialogue, people watch, cross reference behaviours and compare characters to people irl. You can tell almost immediately who had formative experiences with Terry pratchett and/or ghibli, because it's these people. While others see writing as fun, expression, craft, they see it as art. Plain and simple. Sure, the grammar is occasionally sacrificed on the altar of creative freedom, and the occasional sentence might miss a full stop, but these people seem to self reflect on themselves as part of the art making process. On occasion, these people have the most masterful grasp of dialogue and invocation and hand sewn characterisations. Formatting is pretty standard because all the focus is on the actual words. These fics can be edited to the moon and back!
All of these can vary wildly in forethought and quality, and betas can often catch individual problems before they hit post, but just. Isn't it so cool? What's that one Oscar Wilde quote about every mask just being another fragment of yourself?
Did you recognise yourself?
self-awareness check, list five things you like that aren't media pieces in the tags now ‼️
“What if poor people abuse the system?”
The system intrinsically abuses poor people.
Hope this helps.
"What if poor people abuse the system?"
Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that
If a system needs to be abused for poor people to get the help they need, I don't think poor people are the problem.
Hope you’re having a gentle day 🐾🤍
Sound on 🎧
Y'know I kinda think Machamp was onto something with having four arms like if I had four arms I'd use two to feed myself snacks and the other two for shaking a sock with my phone in for pokemon go (egg hatching) all while watching anime.
I promise I'm working on more longer posts on crocs in the back (Enalioetes, Quinkana and Mekosuchinae as a whole) Until then, have some videos/images of various crocodilians scratching themselves.
Saltwater crocodile (sadly I do not know the source)
False Gharial (LA Zoo)
American Alligator (Florida's Wildest)
and finally another saltie as a still image (The Cairns Post)
Bro why does the switch 2 require me to download an app in order to do the simple job of uploading my screen captures onto my phone
when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.
AND SO IS BEING SOMEBODY'S MOTHER‼️
it is about being a woman. hope that helps!
we could sit together and do nothing all day—i'd still be the happiest
Yeah okay Ill reblog that!
Not a scholar at first, but the guy who wrote Jaws hated that people used it to justify hating sharks so much he dedicated the rest of his life to shark research and advocacy.
The woman who popularized gender reveals wishes she hadn't, afaik.
(afaik- the woman who popularized gender reveals did so because she had a long history of miscarriages. The reveal was a celebration of the fact that one of her pregnancies had gotten far enough that there WAS a physical sex to reveal. It was never intended to be like... *gestures at modern gender reveals* all that. That same kid later came out as trans and yes, the family had a second gender reveal for that lol.)
This whole thread is so beautiful to me that I can explain it

L. David Mech, who popularised the idea that there were 'alpha' and 'beta' wolves in his 1970 book The Wolf, has spent the rest of his career trying to debunk this. (The original studies were done on captive wolves, and thus didn't simulate an accurate model of wolf pack dynamics.)
The idea that wolf packs are led by a merciless dictator, or alpha wolf, comes from old studies of captive wolves. In the wild, wolf packs a
In the wild, researchers have found that most wolf packs are simply families, led by a breeding pair, and bloody duels for supremacy are rare.
“What would be the value of calling a human father the alpha male?” says L. David Mech, a senior research scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey, who has studied wolf packs in the wild for decades. “He’s just the father of the family. And that’s exactly the way it is with wolves.”

Hey everyone,
I know it's been a long while since I posted art, and consistently at that. But I am still drawing, aiming to get back into the flow of things.
So I want to ask - would anyone be interested in ordering a commission from me? I'm looking to buy a new PC since my current one is a decade old and starting to run a little slow. As a sample, I was thinking to offer 1 character half-body, shaded colour at a base price of 60USD. Extra characters would be +75%. I can do fanart, OCs, ships and I don't do NSFW or problematic content (including NFTs, crypto and AI 🚫)
For a reminder of the kind of art that I do, you can check my tag dragonpigeondraws . You can also check fandom tags that I've drawn for, namely BNHA, JJBA, Mystic Messenger, Golden Kamuy.
If anyone is interested to help towards Project Pidge Buys A New PC, let me know. I shall make up a full detailed list and post soon 🫶
Thank you guys for sharing!
