in the spider alien book, this is where the dick comes out. how does everyone feel about that?

[citycept]

okay, but where are the vaginas? Are they missionary or doggy style? Is the idea of touching a butt insane because the butts are always facing away for that stuff in same species sex? Like oh ho ho, new and different????

[pangur-and-grim]

so the spider women in the book are like 8x bigger than the dudes, and they kinda.....pick them up and........well

and then the butt is just where webs come out

[pangur-and-grim]

that’s why it’s really cute and sweet when a spider guy hooks up with a non-spider. because he’s like wait……. you don’t eat me afterward? 🥺 we cuddle??? 🥺 and I get to be the big scary one?? 🥺

I will never let AI touch my art, even as it becomes more and more prevalent in today’s society. I like to think that every part of the process, from coming up with the ideas to handwriting all the words, is special because it’s coming from me. I put my whole heart into my art, and I hope that it shows!

In this AI dystopia, your favorite artists need you more than ever! Join their Patreons, buy from their online stores, like or engage with their art on social media. Let’s uplift human artists over AI that continues to profit off of the backs of millions of artists that it stole from.

I was innocently buying a soda and a Kit Kat bar from a snack shop recently when the cashier said, "Oh, a Kit Kat! That's what I named my cat!" and then launched into An Monologue.

Nobody was behind me in line, which seemed to be a good reason for her to treat me to a five minute retelling of the identification, rescue, and argument over initial custody of Kit Kat, who was so small they thought when they first heard him crying for help that he was a bird and not a kitten in a tree, and is now fifteen pounds of "pure, sculpted lardass".

And I didn't mind, precisely, I wasn't bored or anything, but around the time she was bringing me up to speed on Kit Kat's current status it occurred to me that this woman is a cashier in a store that primarily sells candy bars and beverages. People must buy Kit Kat bars from her multiple times a day. Does she do this every time there's nobody in line behind the purchaser? Did I just have that I Own Several Cats And Will Enjoy Your Cat Stories look about me? Was it the first time it occurred to her that she sold the brand of candy bar she named her cat after? Was she new to the job of selling Kit Kat bars?

The idea that every time she sees a Kit Kat bar she is gripped by the urge, Manchurian Candidate style, to retell the story of Kit Kat the Cat, elevates her from a friendly cashier to a deep enigma. Truly there is no knowing the mind of another.

IT GETS FUNNIER

I was in the same snack shop, which I'm in, like, once a month, recently. I only recognized her because I spent five minutes listening to this monologue in sincere wonder. But I did recognize her, so as I was buying a soda and a Milky Way bar (this time) I said, without thinking about how this would come across, "Hey, how's Kit Kat?"

She looked genuinely horrified and said, "What...how?"

"Oh fuck!" I blurted. "Sorry! You told me about him last time!"

This is still quite cryptic as responses go but she gave me a frankly frantic look of sudden recognition and said, "He's fine! You bought a Kit Kat! I was unmedicated!"

I did not inform her she is small town famous on Tumblr and instead just said, "Glad you're both doing well!" and we parted as confused and mortified friends.

Gosh she's fun. I hope she's there next time. I want to reenact the Spiderman Pointing meme with her.

I'm so so so angry. in Horsey Game, I found a wild legless horse, cloned it repeatedly, and mass-sold the clones to all my rival ranches to pollute their gene pools. and when my plan finally reached fruition.....when at last, I came into a race where every opponent had no legs.......my stupid fucking horse fell over.

god, the cat autism really gets me sometimes. I was at a writing meet-up, and someone started talking about munchkins cats and how badly they wanted one, and I was like "hahahah yeah, so cute, but just an FYI the deformity that shortens their legs also deforms their breastbone and can lead to early arthritis, as well as restricting natural behaviours like grooming and playing ^^" and they (appearing not to have heard me) continued scrolling through photos on their phone and showing them off, and said "actually, it's not a want, it's a need." so I (trying so hard to repress myself but unable) was like "there are some breeds that are disallowed in certain registries because the mutations have been deemed harmful, which makes the people who still breed them a lot sketchier. this means that you have a higher likelihood of receiving a sick animal. my housemate's friend brought home a munchkin kitten, and it was dead within a week." to which they presented a photo of an upside down munchkin with big eyes, and said "but look how fluffy :3"

This is how I am with horses. After learning about chronic progressive lymphedema, I can no longer look at feathered horses without wincing.

There is a direct correlation between feathering and CPL. As the name suggests, the disorder is a progressive swelling of the legs due to an accumulation of lymph, and you cannot keep track of its progression without shaving the legs.

The swelling also causes hyperkeratosis (a thickening of the skin) and deep skin folds where feather mites thrive. And when horses get feather mites, they scratch their legs until they bleed. And since legs that are swollen with lymph have a lowered immune response, those sores can get infected very easily, leaving the horse in constant pain and putting its immune system on overtime.

And if it's rainy, those feathers wick up water, causing mold and dermatitis, the latter of which can lead to extremely painful mallenders/sallenders. When owners finally give in an remove the feathering, they often find things like this:

I'm currently helping out with a Jutland horse who had no symptoms other than a bit of swelling and stomping (when they can't properly scratch their legs, they stomp them instead). When I removed her feathers, this is what I found:

The pic on the left is before I started treating her skin issues and mites. On the right is 2 weeks later. It's slow going. She's only 5 years old. Imagine if her owners, out of ignorance, had let this fester until she was 15. Imagine living your entire life with skin like that and no ability to take care of it yourself, and no one bothering to help you.

So yeah, sorry, I don't think that "majestic shire horse" or "beautiful irish cob" is all that cute.

I'm like this with betta fish. An example would be samurai and dragonscale bettas.

They're sold often by breeders but buyers are pretty much never warned of the complications. Not only are they more prone to tumors because of the extreme scale growth genes, but they are pretty much guaranteed to get what's called diamond eye.

The fish's eye is overtaken by the scales and they're unable to see.

Thankfully they can still live long healthy lives with diamond eye... But it's still so damn sad. but they're still at risk for tumors and these risks are never explained to the buyers.
