Jesse, you’re forgetting that Dragons are not just beasts, they are inherently magical and they are of the element they embody, Jesse. An ancient white dragon would create an icy tundra wherever it built its lair merely by existing in that place over time. It is the surrounding animals that have adapted to the cold to even exist in the landscape of a dragon, Jesse.

[littlestfallenangel]

Also dragons have teeth, Jesse. I don't think ice resistance is gonna be that big of an issue. The prey isn't teeth resistant, Jesse.

Avatar: The Last Airbender 1.05 | The King of Omashu

[avatrashh]

Wow those moves look like someone who’s childhood best friend was an airbender

[avatarsymbolism]

…Shit, you’re right. 

That spin he does. That is an airbendery move. 

[onebunpunshow-deactivated202212]

Literally the exact same move Aang pulls when he gets off his glider (cant find a gif but like… I promise)

[dr-algernop-deactivated20220313]

This shows attention to detail was unreal.

[dragongyrlwren]

Even the fall backwards! That looks like the exact kind of thing a fun loving Airbender kid would do while showing off gliders and airbending proficiency.

[agent-of-empathy-deactivated202]

the best benders in this show tend to be the ones who adapt elements of other bending techniques. Bumi has some airbender-y movements, Zuko and Iroh use some Air and Water movements, even Katara tends to use some earthbender looking moves when bending ice

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Meanwhile Toph just took earthbending and cranked it all the way up to 11.

[yourladyindank]

Everyone else: The spice of variety! The four elements make mine stronger! Ballerina time!

Toph:….meTal….bendy bendy

[that-catholic-shinobi]

take into account that Toph might not be able to take other bending styles into her own. Because those styles (especially fire and air) require you to lift your feet off the ground and for Toph she would lose her way of connecting to the world like he’s used too.

Toph took earthbending, made it her bitch, and made it adapt to her needs as a disabled person.

[lightning-crown]

oh shit you right.

[kirain]

As someone who suffers from chronic pain, I really identify with Gale. That's something a lot of people seem to gloss over. He's in PAIN but they don't care. Or maybe they don't even notice. I tried to explain that to my friend but she told me he's just being dramatic and annoying...

Show this to your friend.

Gale's pain is glaringly difficult for him to handle. I'd also make the same argument for Karlach and Shadowheart. All three of them clearly suffer from chronic pain. Just because we don't see it 24/7, that doesn't mean it isn't there.

[kaldurcalm-deactivated20240513]

Astarion is also constantly hungry, and that's a painful state to be in. He deals with brain fog until he finally gets proper nutrition, which is difficult to obtain, and one of the reasons he embraces the tadpole is that it protects him from sun sensitivity.

He even calls it a condition.

Pretty much everyone is disabled in some way, and that's so important to me.

I don't know if Wyll has chronic pain, but he has scarring and one eyeball. Scarring changes the way your skin moves and it can hurt. He also has nightmares and doesn't sleep well, and when he's turned into a demon he finds that hard to deal with.

I think it's relatable to wake up to something new on your body that causes you discomfort. He can't enjoy food the same way either.

I just really love this game.

[utterdrip]

people are so weird about lae’zel srsly. this woman is so Good i truly do not understand the majority of takes

like shadowheart mentions she’s half-elf once and lae’zel is like ok noted for the next time and doesnt get it wrong again

gale mentions how he’s impressed by her fighting and she immediately offers to teach him

she also answers any and all questions about the celestial realm and mindflayers that EVERYONE in the party asks her

she is the ONLY one with any experience and hands on knowledge about what the party is going thru but will still defer to the leader and help. for all she knows, they will literally be cured immediately if they find the creche but she still sticks around these fucking weirdoes because they ask her to

never speak bad about lae’zel in my presence EVER

[fangsandfeels]

Also:

On the nautiloid (which is about to crash and burn), she is extremely patient with us. We can poke around and decide we absolutely need to waste time on a prisoner in the pod, she will grumble, but wouldn't leave us. Oh, we are done? Finally. Can we go already?

Shadowheart starts arguing with her from the get-go. But what does Lae'zel do when she goes at her with "Who put you in charge?" rant? Rolls her eyes and curses under her breath even though her kin would have probably had a much more lethal response to such insolence. Any other githyanki wouldn't have settled for anything else than complete obedience - and if they have to slice someone up for a quick demonstration, so be it.

The fact that Shadowheart gets to talk shit unpunished is astounding. Lae'zel doesn't joke about githyanki doling out cruel punishments for disrespecting their superiors. However, she doesn't attack Shadowheart even when she accuses her of stealing the artifact of her people. She has every right to do so. But she doesn't.

All this time, she is freaking out under her stoic demeanor. She is infected. She is at risk of dying the least dignified death imaginable: becoming the very monster, she was trained to destroy. She is stuck in an alien world with a bunch of locals who keep trying to poke their eyes out or derail her journey. She has dreams where a mysterious figure tells her to consume more tadpoles. She is so alone in this mess and yet, she still does right by us as long as we do right by her. Even though the githyanki way would have approved of her killing us all and leaving with an artifact to the creche: what's more important than obeying Vlaakith, after all? And yet, she doesn't go there.

Of course, she will respect or disrespect us for certain behaviors. But she goes out of her way to collaborate with us from the very beginning, and it's incredible. Gaining her trust and respect feels very rewarding, being there as she discovers the truth and goes from worshipping Vlaakith to defying her is amazing.

Humans' Use Of Pain-Relief Creams Proves Fatal To Felines

[flaredownapp]

Three cats died after their owners used an anti-inflammatory cream used to treat arthritis. The Food and Drug Administration warns to keep drugs away from pets; a tiny bit can be toxic.

Important for spoonies with cats! Creams with Flurbiprofen are fatal to cats. Brands that use this chemical (Not a complete list): Myoflex Traumeel Capzasin If you have cats, check your pain relieving cream for this, and keep them from ingesting it, please!

[ksuew]

Oh no! Boosting for all cat owners.

[feuervogel]

All NSAIDs are toxic to cats - this includes ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin), Aleve (naproxen), Voltaren – which also comes in a gel form – (diclofenac), Mobic (meloxicam), aspirin… If you’re unsure, ask your pharmacist or check drugs.com.

so guys turns out that being raised by queer people alienates me from the queer experience. probably not a good thing

[radioactive-yuri]

i genuinely have not experienced most of the "defining" moments yall talk about.

i never came out to my parents because my parents never assumed i was cishet.

i never did an "am i gay?" quiz because i knew the answer didn't matter, really.

i never "found out" about trans people, my parent has identified as gender neutral my entire life.

i never cried or even felt any big emotions when i found out i was queer. it was just like huh. cool.

my point here is not that i'm sad about having grown up in a queer-friendly enviroment. my point is that the fact that i don't relate to queer experiences as a queer person might imply that we still define queerness based on suffering.

i'm not saying that queer people who have suffered should stop talking about it. all i'm really saying is that if you want to define queerness based on joy instead of misery, you have to accept that queerness is not a big deal to everybody. you have to accept that not every queer person is going to relate to "queer experiences".

[catgirltail]

At the end of the day, that ^, feels like what a lot of us have been fighting for. A world were it is no big deal. And I'm so happy someone has already gotten to experience that.

[loth-catgirl]

reading about a person growing up queer without the suffering of disconnect like

like we fucking did it we made it

[guerrillatech]

[ashbless]

Wow there’s some fucking bullshit going on in the replies here. Moderate your fucking spaces on the internet, kick racists and other bad actors to the kerb or you risk losing everyone else. This guy has the right of it (scroll up to top).

Quit thinking you need to be fair to unfair voices

[big-tiddy-goth-ghoulfriend]

For anyone who can’t/won’t read that twitter thread, it’s by Michael B. Tager (@IamRageSparkle) and it says: 

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”

And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.” And i was like, ohok and he continues.

“you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.” And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty And peace treaties are not unilateral. They have obligations running in both directions.

You are not bound to tolerate people who have a stated intent to not tolerate you. Nor should you tolerate people who have a stated intent to not tolerate people who are tolerating you.

Thank you for sharing this everyone, for image IDing and all of it, thank you.

Disabled people get in free. He offers a free wheelchair valet so ppl who can't get their own wheelchair wet can still play in the water park.

The entire park is accessible, including the carousel which is designed for wheelchair users. There's a sensory village and playground as well.

It’s called Unconsenting Media 

[shelikestowakeupandjustfakeit]

Oh my god, this is going on my list along with doesthedogdie.com

[tzikeh]

Holy shit that’s useful

[elfgirleargasm-deactivated20241]

I probably won’t find myself using this but for my followers: if you can’t handle this shit, USE THIS. If you think a movie or tv show may be hard to watch, do your homework.

[priboltao]

1 - the very reason why I don’t watch GoT

2 - This and rotten apples are some of the best sites ever

3 - Does the dog die have a TON of subcategories, such as jumpscares, strobe effects, does a kid die, does an LGBT person dies and many, many others (they actually link to unconsenting media under “someone is sexually assaulted”). Please save it to tour favorites is really freaking usefull

[whimsisadie]

Useful info. But… (and I sort of doubt it) is there a database like this for car and/or motorcycle accidents? I end up having to give up on lots of movies and shows because there’s often too much for me to handle still. Don’t really like playing the guessing game of “how traumatized is this gonna make me”

[this-is-lena-winter]

Does the Dog Die has car crashes, and if someone gets hit by a car

Seriously, they have a ton of things, and if they don’t, you can reach out to them and they’ll add a category

[mediatriggerwarnings]

Hey y’all I know I haven’t posted in literal ages but here’s a bunch of sites who do this way better than I do!

[anotherdayforchaosfay]

I have epilepsy (among other things) and use these sites. When friends haven’t seen a show/movie and can’t inform me if it’s safe, I browse these sites. Saved me from having seizures.

[strawberryamanita]

Observation #1: The prefix "a-" means "none", such as in "asexual", "apolitical" and "Atheism".

Observation #2: The word "unicorn" is a combination of "uni", meaning "one", and "cornus", meaning "horn".

Conclusion:

This is an acorn.

Did you guys know that the most recent version of sharks have fins that are kinda leg like and they like to walk up onto land?

[bobdylanslesbianlover]

no way i must have missed an update!

[keepcalmandcarriefischer]

The Epaulette shark is only about 9 million years old as a species, making it the most recent branch in the shark family. And it is slowly but surely evolving into a land animal
