I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.
I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.
nearly 80k reblogs and how many of you eat lamb
The ancient shepherds I'm referencing also ate lamb lol
weāre gonna be ok btw
itās ok if youāre scared. or tired. or unsure. or one million billion other complicated emotions at once. but iāve decided things are going to be ok anyway. and i will hold that belief close to my heart no matter how scared or tired or lonely or depressed or one million billion other things i am. i will hold onto that. and if youāre scared, you can hold onto me. we can carry each other through
Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder theyāre like this if their parents kept fumbling
āIām having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilitiesā well no wonder, nobody raised you ššš
Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.
for those lacking certain "adulting" skills, especially things around the house, check out:
mom, how do i...?
and dad, how do i...?
^ there are tons of other resources but these two will teach you some personal hygiene, home or apartment repairs, easy recipes and basic cleaning techniques, even how to schedule doctor's appointments
if youre a renter i cannot recommend the trans handyma'am enough, mercury is a lifesaver, and her channel and accounts are always accepting new questions
there are so many resources, a lot that you dont have to even ask for, just know how to look š©· much love
Jumping in here to also suggest "see Jane drill" on YouTube. She's great for bigger projects... stuff like installing appliances or doing major renovation or repair. My husband replaced all the toilets in our house in a weekend using her tutorials. It would have cost $500 per toilet to have a plumber do it but we did it for just cost of materials which was around $200 each.
All it means when people say āyouāre speaking from a place of privilegeā is that youāre likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. Itās not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.
^^^^^^ read it. say it out loud. keep repeating it until you understand.
tagging/content warning systems for media are often mocked outside of fanfic which is kind of too bad because i do think it'd be a really interesting vector of literary analysis to examine what the author or publisher thinks they should be informing their audience about vs. the actual content of the media in question
tagging my work devoid of any explicit sexual content as "dubcon" and sitting back to watch people fight over what i could have meant by this like i'm a roman emperor watching gladiators being devoured by lions in the coliseum
I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.
if you go from biology to physics without dying first you donāt go to heaven the uber driver went over this
āthis fic will have only ten chaptersā and other lies writers tell themselves
āthis is a one shot, I swearā the infamous sequel
and the third part: āi wonāt start writing this, I have to finish other things firstā
āI can finish writing thisā the fanfic no one asked for.
āI swear, thatās really the final chapter count.ā
āiām going to get this done and post it by tomorrowā
āIām totally not going to start writing a new fanfic before Iāve finished the last one,ā says the person who is now writing four.
āIām totally in the zone to write this one fic. I can finish it in two days.ā Muse is gone by then
āI have the last 20,000 words outlined, I just need to sit down and write them.ā
The Hidden World gets ten times funnier if you allow the characters to break fourth wall.
I hate that movie but hear me out. Characters must follow the script yes but the script is nonsense and they can't help themselves but make it known. In every. Single. Scene.
Every character is a real character (actor, if character reenacted their own story) except Light Fury, she's an animatronic.
That moment when she pushes Hiccup off of Toothless and everyone is laughing? They're laughing because this is the 30th take since Toothless always dodges her or dives down to catch Hiccup and Hiccup had been trying to ingrain in his head that I'll be okay, it's just a stunt Toothless, c'mon just this one time and we won't have to shoot this scene and get rid of it. But he doesn't listen. The Berkians are amused because they're already filled to the brim with the ridiculousness of the scene and Toothless' unwillingness to comply.
Toothless acting ooc, well the real Toothless is taking no bullshit and not following the script no matter how hard they try so they had to get a stunt double. The older takes which didn't make into the final copy are all actual Toothless and he's NOT following the story. Wearing the autotail makes him uncomfortable, he cannot muster up an excited expression. Ignoring Hiccup when he's in danger goes against his instincts.
Grimmel trying to pressurize Hiccup with night fury extinction? Multiple takes done because Hiccup keeps holding in snickers or interrupting him to invalidate his knowledge or sassing at him.
Snotlout being heard offscreen: "Who even wrote this thing? Terrible storytelling, I should've written it."
Ruffnut leading Grimmel on a goose chase cuz she knew she was being followed which actually validates Tuffnut's words of whoever captured her being the one suffering because they planned this.
Hiccup groaning in frustration and sighing before doing a scene.
Tuffnut offscreen when the pass over Hidden World: "The earth is round!"
The actual Toothless who got dismissed from acting cuz he refused to follow the script chilling off set and giving Hiccup looks when the later is trying to act a scene and Hiccup cannot focus like that because it's the same thing when you're giving a class presentation and your best friend keeps staring into your eyes and sending you inside jokes through your brains' Bluetooth connection.
The twins interrupt the shooting constantly to ask for clarifications because the script either goes against their experiences or they start rambling ideas, or correcting their own dialogues and actions.
Fishlegs providing a solution regarding death grippers within the first encounter because he read about them a lot.
Hiccup sneaking on the set to remove the death gripper's collars only to break them and realize that oops, these were props
Astrid sneaking in very politely and happily spoken sarcastic comments regarding the story in her scenes. It takes a moment to comprehend what she had said cuz her words don't match her acting mannerisms.
Snotlout with a red marker in his hand throughout the shooting crossing out and making corrections on his copy of the script, in full director/author mode.
Valka subconsciously rubbing off her makeup because itchy, stuffy, need off.
The only way to make the dragons take off for that last scene's shooting is bribing them with extra dinner they placed somewhere in that direction.
Basically, the story wasn't actually part of their life, they just gotta shoot that movie cuz contracts and cash grabs and what not.
Bloopers include bullying Grimmel nonstop and the gang being silly together.
Baa baa baaaa ba baaaa?

Stole this from somewhere but i think itās appropriate
that is the face of a man worried he will be next
Good news, he was not next! In fact, she accepted him as her mate, he learned the crane mating dance and now every year, he artificially inseminates her with crane semen to expand the very endangered crane population. True story.
Sorry, he WHAT? Imagine being this man's boss and having to sit him down like. Listen. Brian. We need you to fuck the bird. You have to act like you're excited about it.
crane husband.....
this is the diametric opposite of all those awful swan wife stories and i love it.
(WalWaPo makes you jump through like three separate hoops before you can read the article, so I will share some of the highlights:
Walnut was born in a species-recovery breeding program in the 1980ā²s.Ā The program had crane chicks hand-raised by human volunteers, and at that time they did not fully understand the measures necessary make sure that the chicks do not imprint on humans and retain their identity as cranes.Ā Ā
As a result, her keepers believe, Walnut does not recognize other cranes as members of her own species.Ā Ā
It has not been proven that Walnut killed her previous suitors; however, there is a persistent rumor in the white-naped-crane-conservation community that she did.Ā Ā
Because this species is highly endangered, and the gene pool of the captive population is small, itās pretty important for the survival of her species that Walnut A) mate, and B) not kill a bunch of other cranes.Ā Ā
The actual name of the keeper is Chris Crowe.
They both arrived at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in 2004.Ā Ā
Walnut immediately began paying special attention to Chris--and ignoring the eligible male crane in a nearby enclosure.Ā Ā
Walnut initiated their courtship, performing the opening moves of a mating dance.Ā Ā
Chris realized that if he reciprocated the mating dance, it might be possible to artificially inseminate Walnut with her participation and consent.Ā (The process normally involves restraining the bird.)Ā Ā
It worked!Ā Ā
Chris and Walnut have had five children, who were raised by other crane couples at the facility--sometimes the biological dad and his mate--both because itās unclear whether Walnut would accept the chicks as her own, and because Chris is not equipped to be a Crane Dad.Ā Ā
However, the Institute provides her with artificial eggs to sit on, and Chris takes his turn looking after them.Ā (This would not work with real eggs because he canāt sit on them properly, but Walnut seems to feel that he is on the job if he just stands over them.)
Chris accepts that he is pretty much married to this bird.Ā White-naped cranes live to be about 60, and they mate for life, so he knows he canāt retire while Walnut is alive.Ā (At the time of the article, Walnut was 36, and Chris 42.)Ā Ā
Legit cannot pick the funniest part of this
she has not been PROVEN to have killed her exes, but there is a PERSISTENT RUMOR (really officers she's simply DEVASTATED, she sobs, wearing a new feather boa unfortunately resembling her most recent deceased husband)
His name is Chris CROWE. (Mrs. Walnut Crane-Crowe?)
the mental images of a whole human man learning and performing the crane mating dance, and "sitting" on artificial eggs so she thinks he's performing his duties as a husband and father (and apparently OBJECTS if he does not?)
"chris, buddy, you gotta marry the possibly-murderous crane lady for the GOOD OF THE SPECIES." (alternately: "chris, my man! good news! we found you a very interested lady! She's 36, she's very spirited and independent, she holds a very important and rare status in her society! ...Is there a downside? WELL...")
chris sits any potential human partners down, like "my love, you must understand before we wed,,, i am already... Attached" (camera drifts wistfully to the above photo) "Lady Walnut and I have an,, Understanding... the relationship is open, but very committed"
just had to explain this post to my father bc he thought my stifled laughter was a signal of illness.
well done, everyone, good game. hit the showers.
Not only is he 'married' to walnut, this has apparently happened SEVERAL times, so he has MULTIPLE crane wives, none of which know about any of his other crane wives. This man is, for some unknown reason, irresistible to cranes
the āthis content has been removed for violating Tumblrās Community Guidelinesā notice really adds a lot of flavor to this post and somehow makes it MORE obscene than whatever that actually was
World Heritage Post
I regret being the bearer of bad news, but I thought it should be shared that Walnut passed away in January of this year (2024). There's a lot of mixed info about the lifespan of cranes (due to people misunderstanding what a median is...) but the average for most species I know of is 20-30 years (in the wild if nothing eats them/they don't die young), and 30-45 in captivity, with the oldest known white-naped crane having loved to be 46. Given that she was 42, this old gal did good, and I'm certain she will be missed by folks here.
Fly on forever Walnut Crane-Crowe
I love characters who are like "I'm a terrible person" but when you look closer it's more like
"I adapted to survive something and now I don't know how to stop being that version of myself."
