i have no idea what kind of fun fact you mean so. piebald colorations (large splotches of white) often start manifesting in species as the populations are being selected for other traits associated with domestication, even if it previously did not exist in the wild populations. while the coloration is not being selected for, it appears to (even across different species) crop up when traits such as friendliness and novelty tolerance are being selected for

nick would never be a piebald

Is that this rescue’s standard adoption fee? I’ve seen some that give higher adoption fees for more adoptable dogs like puppies or young healthy “desirable” breeds and then use the extra to subsidize the fees for other dogs - waive or discount the fee for less adoptable dogs - seniors, health issues, behavioral issues. Sounds like this dog has all three and maybe that’s what’s happening here?

All animals from this rescue are $60. I thought perhaps he might be discounted, but he is not, he costs the same as a healthy, friendly puppy would cost from the same rescue.

@singelisilverslippers, @lowtideandhightea, @burins, @escapistfantasymanual​ – tagging y’all because Mastodon doesn’t have nearly enough Catholics and I’m (very) amused by this joke I made.

Ok well. I was just going to go “HEY INANNA DID THAT BY HER DAMNED SELF” but Inanna said “Tell Mala I will drag her through the fires of hell myself, ghostwriting my ass,” Which is so so so so much better

so she's using my ask meme to drag both of us at the same time. v efficient.

Amnesia: the Dark Descent

Just a heads up, Amnesia’s going on GOG.com for 80% off, right now (bringing it to a cool $3.99).

Games on GOG.com are all DRM-free, too, and Amnesia is available for Windows, Mac, or Linux.

(mostly making this post for @kickassmuthafuckrrrr as a heads up, if I’m being fully honest)

Actually, let me tack on a shout out to @lowtideandhightea, too; I don’t know if Amnesia’s your type of game but I know you like video games so this might be useful.

11. What occupation did your character want to have growing up? Is this the same as what they wish to be, or are in, now?

Hmm, if I recall correctly I think I’d wanted to be one of those travelling merchants. 

More or less take after my father but get to experience the adventure of travelling. Of course that is not the case now. What travel I have been through wasn’t all that pleasant.

These nights my main forms of income come via blackmail, company shares, and various criminal networks. So... I suppose I’m not entirely outside of the business and trade world but it is not at all what I could have imagined it would be back in life. Photos & video certainly didn’t exist back then and they’re a lot of help in the blackmail business.

Wait there’s a city where the Camarilla and Sabbat had a truce? How does that even work? Do the Sabbat there just not make Masquerade breaching abominations or burn down bars?

F. Favorite Beverage/Meal. 

I feel like your takin the piss now. Umm but I mean I technically can still eat and drink. So I guess…favorite beverage, Coffee no sugar, tiniest drop of cream. Food…Ice cream sandwiches.

P.  Is there something or someone they cannot stand? Why?  

Well there’s a recent development so I guess that lady can be slapped down on the list. Umm other than that…A certain pianist is on my shit list at the moment but i don’t hate them…they just need a solid punch. Maybe the guy that…creeped on me at the beginning of all this. That guy I would very much like a word with.

S. Is there something in their life they regret?

All the non nocturnal cryptids I’ll never get to see. And seeing dawn. Used to do a lot of stake outs…snapping pictures I need to snap for cash…and dawn was always really pretty. I miss it.
