Microwave The Characters With Me

*taps mic* Hello? Hello? Is this thing on? Hi! I'm Sketch the random artist you’ve found :D! Dubbed the Dakota Cole Knower by Mutuals??? <- scary…..

[sketchthetofu]

Howdy :D!

I’m Sketch, Star, Tofu, any of those will work! I’m not picky :)!

I’m just a silly guy in this sea of people obsessing over goofy characters and stories in my corner of this crazy platform :). My most recent obsessions being JRWI: Riptide & Prime Defenders (Dakota is my major obsession rn-) , Gravity Falls, Hermitcraft, Life series, and last but not least my own ocs! If your wondering which one of these I’m focused on at the moment check what I’ve been drawing recently :D! That’s a great indicator on my most recent brainrot-

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

I don’t know how much I’ll be able to draw for the next two months D:…

gender envy is nice but what about gender appreciation? what if i don't exactly wanna go with my own gender in that direction but i'm still like "love what you've done with the place" when seeing someone's gender presentation?

[rhapsoteas]

yes, she’s hilarious, arguably one of the funniest characters in the game. but please never ever forget that queen deltarune is so very kind. when noelle stands up to her, instead of pushing things further, she backs down, acknowledges that her assumptions were incorrect, and tells her to instead choose the world that would make her happy. on the weird route, she doesn’t even go through with making her be her peon anymore, worried enough about her health to just make her rest instead. berdly annoys her, yes, but she still concernedly warns him that removing her plug will injure him if he tries to do it himself, still searches for him everywhere on the weird route. if you recruited nobody from cyber city, she seemingly tries to hide it, but she’s very obviously sad that none of her citizens are there to enjoy castle town with her. even some of her goofier bits, like her concern over the lightners being potassium deficient or their browser-search themed rooms, imply a degree of care for them on her part.

queen calls off her plan as soon as ralsei explains the roaring to her, and that’s because her motivation was never something that stemmed from cruelty. she was misguided in her approach, yes, but it was nonetheless a plan born out of a desire for nobody to ever have to suffer again after witnessing that suffering firsthand.

you know the obsession with keeping cats indoors is a purely American view of the world? Most Europeans let their cats outdoors without any problems. Many Europeans even think it's cruel to keep them indoors all the time

No, it’s not. European cats aren’t magically smarter and less environmentally impactful than American cats, it’s just more socially acceptable to let them roam. Do you not have cars in Europe? Foxes? Raptors? Stray dogs? Rat poison? Parasites? Diseases? What about the Croydon Cat Killer in England, where the dismemberment of over 400 cats was being investigated, and it turned out that foxes were mutilating the bodies of cats that were killed by cars? Suddenly it’s all ok because it was only horrific death via automobile, instead of decapitation like they suspected? Totally acceptable to outdoor cat owners, who cares if your cat gets hit by a car and dies on the side of the road? There is real concern for the hybridization of wildcats in Europe, Asia, and Africa, but sure, it’s just a US problem. How about how outdoor cats are effectively reducing the protective area of a national park in Poland? How about the increased incidence of lungworms and GI parasites in European free roaming cats? How about this small study from Denmark where 90% of free roaming cats tested positive for GI parasites on necropsy (and the risk was higher in rural areas). Not Europe, but for the sake of completeness, free roaming cats kill ~377 MILLION birds per year in Australia, and 61 million of those kills are thought to be from owned cats. You can also talk to @drferox about how problematic outdoor cats are in Australia. Free roaming cats are bad for the environment, and are put in unnecessary danger. Why don’t you provide enrichment for your cat instead of letting them run around unsupervised where they will kill native wildlife and get sick or injured or die (or all of the above). Other resources from @catsindoors about the impact of domestic cats around the world. Snagged a lot of these links from their blog.

Humans would also be safer and the environment protected if we all just stayed indoors. No passing of parasites, bacteria, or viruses. No harm to other species. No cross breeding either (if that bothers you). Do you want to stay indoors?

[vet-and-wild]

I generally try to ignore responses like this, but I want to address this because I see this ridiculous argument a lot.

The reason that this comparison is inaccurate is because humans have the ability to use reason and make logical choices, but cats don’t. Humans see a car coming and wait until the street is clear to cross. Cats don’t. Humans know not to eat strange food on the ground. Cats don’t. Humans can look up which plants are toxic and avoid them. Cats can’t. Humans don’t eat raw rabbits and rodents that may carry disease. Cats do. Humans who hunt follow laws that prevent them from killing endangered species (besides shitty poachers). Cats don’t.

A far more accurate comparison would be a cat and a toddler. They lack the ability to recognize danger and don’t have the ability to reason that an adult does. I’m sure a toddler would have a great time roaming around the neighborhood, but no one is going to argue in favor of that. People can understand that doing that is irresponsible and dangerous. But no sane person is going to lock their toddler inside and provide them with nothing to do; no one is saying we should do that for cats either. Play with them. Provide cat trees. Rotate their toys. Give them puzzle feeders. And if you want them to go outside you can leash train them. Or build a catio. The options aren’t let them roam vs. never provide them with entertainment. If it is unbearable to entertain and care for a cat that is kept indoors, you probably shouldn’t own a cat.

Would you let your dog roam? Or your bird? How about your rabbit? I’m sure all of these animals would have a great time running (or flying) around the neighborhood, but we generally recognize that this is a bad idea. It’s no different for cats. We are caretakers for our animals, so it is up to us to use our big brains to make logical choices about what they should or shouldn’t do. We have the ability to understand the risks associated with free roaming. Cats don’t. We can weigh risks and benefits before making a decision. Cats can’t.

tldr: Humans have the ability to make logical decisions to keep themselves safe but cats do not.

Outdoor cats are also more or less an invasive species. They are such good hunters, they are capable of permanently changing an ecosystem by killing native prey animals. 

Protect your kitty and local biodiversity–keep them inside!

[r33naytealeaves]

I just wanted to tack on that, there is no “more or less”, cats are an invasive species. Domesticated animals are invasive species and allowing them to interact with the local environment without monitoring will harm the local biodiversity. Cats especially. Domestic cats have a very high success rate for hunting. Historically, they have lead to multiple extinctions of animals because people brought cats along as pest control and pets.

I’m very pro indoor only cat. But sadly, this is not common in the UK, most people free roam their cats despite the dangers.

I’ve seen two cats who were roadkill, multiple poisoned rats that make easy prey, gardens full of poisonous (to cats) plants, and a cat at the vet who survived his arm being mauled by a fox through a catio. Yet people still do it. I’m in a small village, no idea how much worse in a bigger place it would be.

It is entirely cultural. Sadly, it also means people don’t tend to play with their pets and let them free roam as their only enrichment. So they baulk at how “bored” a cat would be indoors. Forgetting it’s not just kittens who need playtime. You are seen as a “weirdo” for harness/lead training a cat here, which I don’t agree with obviously.

Most rescues will not let you adopt a cat if you do not let it be indoor-outdoor. They will even check up on your garden to see it’s safety (like a cat can’t jump a fence lol). Charities do this, too.

I still keep my cat indoors only. My step mum thought I was being cruel until I explained to her the dangers of a cat outside.

I wish attitudes would change here. Please keep your cat indoors!

[robotslenderman]

It’s not even a fucking Yank thing. Here in Australia we do have people with outdoor cats, but most people see them as irresponsible wankers. People actively letting their cats outside are shrinking to the point that I saw an anti-missing poster outside of my doctor’s surgery one day telling people to stop calling them when their cat is outside, meaning that there’s now a lot of people who see an outdoor cat and assume it’s lost by default instead of the other way around.

Across the pond in New Zealand ONE SINGLE CAT drove an entire species to extinction. There are still arseholes over there but they’re generally even stricter than we are here in Oz.

Also it’s fucking weird that people say it’s understandable that we do it because of our ecosystem. Do Europeans not have ecosystems? Or are you just subscribing to the colonialist idea that your ecosystem is a boring default and only “exotic” ecosystems should be preserved?

So, I usually try to find/check sources for Really Cool videos (and photos) these days, what with AI being what it is (not that I don't trust a random spam video posting account with no tags or sources on any videos, but... well, I don't, actually), and I'm pleased to announce that this video is from a world champion knife thrower, Soulthrower!

And if you like this compilation, the guy actually has a shitton more videos on his various media accounts, including vids with advice/instruction on learning to throw knives etc, yourself. He also mentions on every single page that he is a stroke survivor, so I feel that's important to mention here, too.

someone wronged me once

[drakoma-deactivated20250406]

dakota cole is such a fascinating charcter to me beacuse his back story is literlly a villan origin story. his pearnts were killed as collateral in a battle with superheros, his aunt fell into substance abuse beacuse of that grief, he lost his friend in an accident that nearly killed him and instead gave him super powers. i swear to god ive heard all of those as motives in fuckin comic books or whatver. and instead hes the most fiercly protective, optimistic , spunky kid who cares so godamn deeply about being the best hero he can be and !!!! It makes me sick !!!!
