Yeeeeeeeah, Bird Fortress!!! Finally finished the one I struggled with selecting a bird species for the most: The fantastic Pyro!

She's a Spotted Owl... we think. Perhaps he's been oddly hybridized with a Black Kite along the way? Stranger things have happened to Team Fortress. XD Either way, they're a fluffy lil birb who delights and benefits from the scorch of a brushfire.

Also, bonus extra Medic (Eurasian Goshawk)! Since the first page had just a single Medic appearance. XD Gotta get more Heavy onto the "Heavy's family" page too.

MORE BIRD FORTRESS!

Featuring Sniper as a very very Australian birb, the Noisy Miner! (Which is also very appropriately enough also called the "Mickey Bird" XD That just sounds like a nickname his adoptive mum would call him and annoy the heck out of him with.)

Also the bird version of Jarate is sooooo much worse...

Dr. Ludwig's Body-horror Child. <3

Chestburster baboon baby has been adopted because the Medic is a softie for animals (especially animals which were involved in the mutilation of an archenemy). And, given his extensive knowledge about exotic animals and their care she could not have had a better crazy mad scientist adopt her as his own...

...and it seems she's got two big, scary dads now!

Pleased that despite NEVER learning French, and also not knowing shit about Football/Soccer, I stared at it and after a good 90 seconds figured out a rough translation of a simple phrase.

Yay..? Do I also get a red card? Or is that bad? Do I get a gold star instead?

I'm still baffled that so many people seem completely unaware of how dangerous Covid is. Every time you get Covid, there is a chance you develop a life-long disability. It can cause brain damage, as well as damage to the heart, the lungs, the stomach... And yet no one seems to be worried about this. They don't mask when they're sick. They go to work or school even though they have a virus that might disable anyone who gets infected by it. Many people don't even seem to know what Long Covid is, or that the chances of getting it are statistically higher each time you get infected

spidermilkshake

MASK AS IF IT'S POLIO. YOU KNOW WHAT POLIO IS, YEAH? YOU KNOW HOW BAD IT CAN BE, YEAH? WELL THEN MASK. IF IT'S NOT YOU, IT'LL BE YOUR PARENTS. YOUR SIBLINGS. YOUR PARTNER. YOUR CHILDREN.

What are the chances none of those infections result in the same level of seriousness that random polio infections did??? Very low. Mask for yourself at least, you selfish beast.

velvet mite on lichen

spidermilkshake

GREAT lichens too to be honest. Two, maybe three species!

These velvet mites are tiny but are SO GOOD for pest control. They're one of the only non-chemical ways to get spider mites and mealybug colonies under control. (and those can wreck any flowering or garden plant).

They are also pretty little red guys. Fat lil rosy butts. Welcome them if you spot some appearing in your garden. ^w^

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

aromanticduck

Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

spidermilkshake

Even if it's a break-up situation, some kind of incompatibility, you gotta also remember that this last relationship act means you are both owed safety from each other. You both should get to go home. If you share kids, you should either check on them and/or wait to hear your ex partner has checked in on them before you consider the night resolved.

If you are the child on either/or/any situation, I'm sorry. It's likely going to take a while for you to under-ow-stand what your-ow!-parents were-ouch, ow! Ow ow ow! No, not th' camera! *footage ends*

My favorite caterpillar! Yes, including the do-not-touches or the spiky ones. :D I love these chunky lil dudes.

”This portrayal of a marginalized group was wrong then and is wrong now” and “This portrayal of a marginalized group was very progressive for the time period and paved the way for more representation while likely limited by factors outside of the creator’s control” are two statements that can and should ABSOLUTELY coexist and be kept in mind when interacting with older media

Great example

#SHE HAS A QUESTION..!

weepingpussywillowtree-deactiva

sometimes I think about how far we still have to go with consent

my worst relatives try to sneak meat or meat products into my food despite the fact that I'm a vegetarian

my ex's brother gave his mother an edible without her knowledge and when she got freaked out and paranoid they laughed, and people I've told that go "yeah that's shitty but it's just weed"

when I go to the doctor and ask them to describe what they are going to do before touching me they get frustrated

when I ask a friends of a friend who is a small influencer to keep me out of frame in videos they film for social media in public they look at me like I've pissed in their cereal

idk man, we've got a long way to go.

#the allergy part is particularly concerning but I know that is actually NOT AT ALL NEW #but the diet difference too #and perhaps the most worrying is the DOCTOR thing #a pediatrician #a doctor #or any attending nurse should know that if someone seems unwilling #that alone is reason to be extra good to them (and maybe make a big note if it's the first time they've noticed)#(and also maybe give a office card with a support number written on it just in case)#We were a lot better with photo consent ten years ago I feel #A friend asked “oh don't like how that one turned out delete it” and you just WOULD #Or would just be like “ don't post me on socials please just sent me photos privately if you want”#And you would!#Seems very basic and respectful

I wish people were as scared of getting into a car accident as they are of being true crime'd. Maybe then they wouldn't be on their phones while driving.

sundae-meringue

True crime girlies will be like "wtf I would never go for a walk at night, what if the hash slinging slasher gets me" and then use their knees to merge with no turn signal in front of a semi while applying makeup with both hands

#Fear men yes #But especially fear Decepticons #They're EVERYWHERE and also you are riding one

Thought I should maybe share one of my exceptional boy, begging adorably, surrounded by chaos. XD

This is Pooter. Also Pewter, for when uptight company might be about. Also know as Little Boy, because that is what he is. He is also currently sitting on me and supervising as is common. XD

“They said they wanted a vampire relationship with no age gap”

“No age gap??!?!?”

“And no non-con elements”

“NO NON CON?”

“And no coercion or otherwise manipulative behaviors”

“Joe they want a vampire with NOTHING”

spidermilkshake

Oh God Forbid we resist modern tropes. (especially romantasy/related porn tropes)

Fear me, as I shall probably implement a non-coercive/manipulative, fully consensual, relatively similar-aged vampire relationship in some part of my next fantasy setting books. Just to spite this meme (and to point out that these are just porny/kink-happy tropes that maybe shouldn't end up as the Basic Tropes that are supported and given to heroes... at least now that we know better. Feel free to give them to troubled fuckers.

#vampires #I am SO annoyed by the lack of creativity in vampire fiction #ESPECIALLY if it's modern because WILLING DONORS are confirmed by the fact they exist in no-vampires real life!#vampire doctors trying to cure so many rife childhood diseases since they KNOW that if so many people die the town will collapse #and initially its so their constant blood supply doesn't die out but they get attached #awwww #they're gonna go cure typhoid now and then get rewarded with only hatred and being called a demon #typical anti-vaxxer logic

Would you rather have:

A legacy you can’t outrun

A destiny you can’t escape

30 spiders in your pants right now

Voting ended onJun 27

cassolotl

Everyone already has a destiny they can't escape, that's what destiny is, it's just "the stuff that ends up happening".

This is very boring [of me/in general], right, but in TV and movies when there's a character who doesn't want to do their destiny and another wise character really insistently trying to persuade them to do their destiny, I'm like, you don't have to do that. Just go sit on the sofa and do your favourite thing instead. It's their destiny, they can't avoid it, they don't have a choice! So if you want them to do it you don't have to be a git about it, you can just chill and wait.

spidermilkshake

Destiny obvious answer. I'm white and mostly German in heritage--what the hell are the chances my overall heritage is good? XD

Second choice is 30 spiders in pants as I love spiders and can simply hold still and coax/shake out the spiders without harm.
