#WolfGetsReal

as an extranth, i don’t have to imagine a world where my alterhumanity is seen as a disorder. the treatment in Wolf has been compared to conversion therapy, and justifiably so! but i also wanted to point out the clear similarities to the mistreatment of plurals - we get it, and we should be building mutual support and understanding here.

medical abuse of transgender people is still unacceptably rampant. that said, these days, the prevailing medical opinion is that transition is the solution to gender dysphoria, and standards of care are about helping you get that. the prevailing medical opinion about plurality is that it needs to be eliminated, the standard of care is integration. this reality is much closer to that of Wolf’s. the clinic is depicted as unusually cruel, but ultimately in line with what doctors think about species dysphoria in that universe: it has to be ‘cured’.

i don’t have a big essay to write, i’m not that kinda guy, but i wanted to point this out to highlight that we’re all on the same team, here. singlet otherkin: be aware that this story is already truth for many of your fellow alterhumans. consider what you can learn from the plural self advocacy movement to prepare you for doing the same in the future. plurals: we know what this feels like. we should be supporting and advocating for nonhuman identity as much as we do ourselves.

solidarity!

older lotr illustrations sometimes depict éowyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), there’s another hilarious thought:

éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.

therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:

[hobbit-hole]

there’s a thundering sound in the distance as the rohirrim ride into war but rather than hoofbeats it’s the collective sound of all their cheeks clapping

[delicatelytoobear]

the artist for this particular piece is Frank Frazetta and to be fair to him this is how he drew the orcs armor 

so the rohirrim comment is probably not that far off

[adhd-trash-mammal]

That’s a man who just straight up had a problem with the concept of wearing pants into battle, and I respect that

[cumaeansibyl]

male or female

hero or villain

sea or land

even in the snow

I guarantee you Frazetta’s Rohirrim were 100% pants-free

[missmollyetc]

Good Old Frank. That man loved bodies and hated clothes so much

[thebyrchentwigges]

[trist-pkmngal]

Frank Frazetta was the reason He-Man was designed like that; the producers conduct a study to see what art appeal the most to children, and Frank’s work came out on top in popularity. So everyone in He-Man is dressed the way they are directly because of Frazetta.

[snugglebunchesofeyes]

That man gave us the gift of warrior thighs and tits for everyone.

Ah, it has been too long since I have seen the no pants post on my dash. And yes, this is a rare case where it wasn’t some sexist nonsense but an egalitarian No Pants Agenda.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

They existed *before beetles*

Bee Orchid

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.

(my own photos)

Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.

Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.

well good morning it’s time to get up and find out why my roommates (neither of whom, to my knowledge, celebrate Christmas) are blasting Christmas music at 8:30 AM on November 14th

[yrbeecharmer]

all righty then
