Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Growing up with your starters

The captions are also really cute, although they mostly describe what’s in each photo:
Bulbasaur: Somehow, nomming on my clothes… has become a weird habit of theirs.
Venusaur: That hasn’t changed now that they’ve grown, but they’re very gentle.
Charmander: It’s my first attempt, but I made a plushie so that he wouldn’t get lonely.
Charizard: That plushie seems to be his favorite even now.
Squirtle: Squirtle’s a bit timid and hides behind me at the smallest things.
Blastoise: Looks like they’re scared of the first Pichu they’ve seen. You’re not really hiding!

These ten ducklings were found orphaned and they were brought to a pet duck called Stella who had just hatched nine of her own two weeks prior. She immediately claimed the ten as her own.

she released those babies like a ramen flavour packet
love how stella swims over like “oh shit i must’ve misplaced these ten whole babies!”
Love how the li’l ramen flavor packets swim over like ‘oh shit that must be mom, she’s mom-shaped’

Some amusing Pokemon descriptions from the Versus Books guide for Gold and Silver. The writer's bias towards Arcanine being the best Fire-type (by that point), how mean he is to Murkrow compared to Houndour, that weird Unown "Nuzzling" tangent, and calling Ditto a love machine in particular.
Holy trinity! =D
I made a what the fandom thinks of you generator

This speech-language pathologist taught her dog 29 words, and he can even form full sentences.

Dogs actually do have a language center in their brains. They process language just the same way we do, just not as well.
They do understand our words. This is not true of all domesticated animals (horses, for example, can only manage to distinguish a relatively small number of spoken commands…but boy do they know what you’re really saying).
They don’t understand “just your tone of voice” as a lot of people think.
As of 2016 the record vocabulary for a dog demonstrating understanding of words is over 1,000.
So if you give them a way to talk back, they’re going to use it.
The development of language skills is probably a side effect of domestication and of being kept in close contact with humans. A dog that was a better hunting partner would be kept and bred and over time they developed a better understanding of language.
In other words, dogs are pretty dang smart because we need them to understand us.
And also that is a very good boy.
^ Would like to agree and make one amendment - very good GIRL. This is Stella the dog!
Check out the owner Christina’s Instagram: one of the first things I saw was a video where the dog started barking and, when prompted by the owner, said “outside, look look look look look look look, come outside.” Which is basically exactly how one would expect a dog to speak.
The owner described bringing an unknown package into the house, and the dog ran away to push the buttons for “help no no help help” which is also about what I expect goes on in a scared pup’s mind.
In another video, the dog tried to push a button, and the button wasn’t working. The dog paused and then pushed the buttons for “No. Help.”
In yet another (which the owner seemed impressed by), Stella said “come eat come play.” The owner asked the dog which she wanted to do, to eat or to play? And the dog clarified “come eat.” After eating, then the dog tried to instigate play. So the dog may have been able to understand a short spoken question, and how “questions and answers” work, and also understands sequences, even if she can’t express them (”I want to eat, THEN I want to play”)
Stella can even recount short-term memories, like when her family returned from the beach for dinner and she said “water good, no eat, play”
By the way, the owner uses the buttons as well, which probably really helps reinforce their meaning. She uses them to say things like “Stella all done eat” or “Stella and Christina go outside, bye!”
Wanna know my favorite part? Stella sometimes pushes the buttons for “Stella good” when she’s done a good job. Stella IS good! :D She also makes phrases using “love you,” like “Christina, love you, come play!”
It’s one of my favourite IG accounts ever. Christina documents Stella’s progress, and she can be seen asking questions, commenting on things that make her happy, ask about a family member when they’re not around to express that she misses them, ask for help, have conversations with four or fives exchanges, etc. One time iirc the button for “beach” was broken so instead she said “water outside” which imo demonstrates incredibly complex thinking. It’s like she couldn’t wait to be able to talk!
hey give birds antlers
But what if they get stuck in the trees
alright but they could also use it as camouflage and blend in with the tree
What if they landed on each other’s antlers
stack em
@wishem
i keep presenting you with cursed concepts and you keep drawing them in friendly, pleasant ways, this is blasphemy
Imagine if you picked one up from its antlers, like some birb-on-a-stick
Utterly fantastic
Birds with antlers you say? Have a class doodle
the ones on top are its babies
Here’s some art by Munwie on Deviantart:
Meanwhile, this is an obvious reason why Viking helmets didn’t have horns.
Going into battle wearing handlebars for the opponent to play with is a Bad Idea. That didn’t stop other cultures (Indo-Persian, Japanese) from doing so, but Vikings? NO.
The origin of the Nordic Horned Helmet is actually known: they first appeared in C.E. Doepler’s costume designs for Wagner’s “Ring Cycle” operas.
In 1876.
Incidentally, calling mail armour “chain-mail” first happened in the novel “The Fortunes of Nigel” by Sir Walter Scott.
In 1822.
Something similar has happened with the word “longsword”, which only came into general HEMA use for what had previously been “hand-and-a-half” or “bastard” swords about 20 years ago; even then the first time I saw it (in “Medieval Swordsmanship” © 1998 by John Clements) it was two words with a hyphen: “long-sword”.
As a single word it’s been part of the fantasy fiction arsenal since the mid-1970s, for example in C.J. Cherryh’s “Gate of Ivrel” © 1977, I used it in “The Horse Lord” © 1983, and I’m sure a search through very early D&D manual could place it even earlier.
Longsword is certainly a handier term than the alternatives, but IIRC even “hand-and-a-half sword” is no older than Victorian. In the Middle Ages a sword was usually just “a sword”; it was very inconsiderate of them not to think of later generations who might like to label things with a bit more exactitude…
Not all Munwie’s Deviantart birds are corvids, and not all are sinister…
…though you might have second thoughts about that if you know anything about the lifestyle of the European Robin.
They’re ferociously territorial, their usual song translates as “Get Off My Lawn Or I Will Kill You With Death”, and we’re grateful the two pairs in our garden are the size they are and not as big as e.g. tyrannosaur turkeys.
Which having written it is a mental image I really didn’t need…
LONGSWORDS ARE CALLED BASTARD SWORDS PASS IT ON

Reminder that T types struggle to use their F functions just like F types with their T functions.
Yes, Fps can use Te badly to railroad people, be cruel, and favour 'facts' over feelings. It can seem like the smart thing to do.
Yes, Fjs can use Ti badly to withdraw from people, be cold, and favour 'logic' over feelings. It can seem like the best way to not get hurt.
Tps can use Fe badly to manipulate people, be deeply insecure, and favour group harmony over what they know is right. Yes! They use Fe less easily than fjs who learn how to deal with this in younger years. Tps have to learn this in their 20s, which must suck tbh. So if you see someone consistently putting their needs aside to help others AT THEIR OWN PERIL (like legit stressing themselves out) it's more likely to be a tp than an fj. Fjs are defs helpful types, but they can usually balance things well and can say no without feeling like everyone will hate them.
Tjs can use Fi badly to... Fall apart. They're not used to handling intense feels all the time, and it can easily overwhelm them. They can be overwhelmed by your feelings too, making them their own and shutting down. They can easily be guilt tripped/manipulated into helping people or a cause. So again, if you see someone always helping people and causes AT THEIR OWN PERIL, they're probably a Tj.
F types get a lot of credit for giving more than they can handle, but it's not true. What IS true is that f types can handle A LOT of giving and sometimes have T meltdowns that require them to take a break from everything at once. It's the T types stressing themselves out by overreaching.
I guess T types weren't taught how to say no cos they had no problem as savage T functioning kids and now their strange new F function is causing feels problems 😂
Well, even as kids, since feeling function is likely undeveloped/unconscious, Thinker kids often had to deal with being manipulated through feelings and not knowing whether they were the ones being manipulated or whether they were being manipulative when dealing with say, a Feeler accusing the Thinker of gaslighting them or being cruel. So they often find themselves in a double-bind when it comes to human relationships from a very young age.
I actually do find many F (both FJ and FP) types being very self-centered/selfish with their needs oftentimes, constantly forcing others to think for them, and validate them as being intelligent, while T types rarely do this because of the fear of group rejection. As a result, T types will oftentimes seek indirect validation, usually by helping others and hoping they receive recognition in turn. So if you give the T types the recognition they secretly desire, you will be able to manipulate a lot of them to do what you want them to do.
I wouldn’t recommend this, however, because as it is a sensitive point in the psyche, once the T type figures out what you’ve done, they will go to hell and back to destroy you and feel fully justified to do so because they’ve gone to hell and back to help you, to their detriment, which they knew from the beginning would be detrimental to them. They ate the cost to help you because they liked being recognized, so if you take that and screw them over, you can be sure they’ll do the same. Thinkers in this mode don’t care about you as a person because they had to overextend their feeling function in the first place and have nothing left over to consider your “fault as human.”
The black and white approach that thinkers employ in the realm of Fe and Fi can make them dangerous if they feel slighted “after sacrificing.” These Thinkers will destroy your relationships and do so without looking back. And because they were the ones “in detriment,” they will leave and feel much happier without you.
Just... be kind. You don’t want Thinkers on an anger rampage. Just as they are willing to act in self-detriment to help you, they are just as willing to act in self-detriment to destroy you, and there will be no mercy.
------
In reverse, Thinkers... do not overextend for anyone unless you personally have decided to eat the cost and to not expect anything back later. If you can’t make that choice, DON’T DO IT. Just say you’re dealing with too much at this time and can’t help them. Everyone is a grown-up (unless they’re not), and they can handle themselves; if not, it is not our responsibility as Thinkers to do this for them.
Every person is an individual living one’s own life. Life is no easier for a Feeler than it is for a Thinker, and reversely, no more difficult for a Feeler than it is for a Thinker. If at any point, you’re tired from worrying about problems of other people, stop and ask yourself whether this really is YOUR problem to solve, or THEIRS. Most of the time, it is theirs.
Hey, what’s this? 🥚
