Isaac "went to France" but we all know it was just Daniel wanting to get clear of the clusterfuck that TW was becoming and has since become

LOOOOOOOL THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME i’m watching it for the first time w my gf and so many characters just randomly disappear and like 10 eps later im like ‘wait what happened to that one dudebro’

Yes hello I agree about Hoechlin's unreal behind but there has also been a lot of hate surrounding Superman being in Supergirl... Not entirely sure why they're introducing him but there has been a connection with Superman from the very beginning, and as Kara started to use her powers she was talking to Clark over email and asking for advice, they have a pretty good relationship, so it's not like they're just sticking him in there with no warning (just gentle FYI)

I haven’t started watching it yet it’s on my long list of shows to watch so I’ve just kinda been low key following updates about it while dodging all the spoilers. I’m just worried because I know he’s already popular because of Teen Wolf so I don’t want him to draw in an influx of thirsty fans and they then decide to keep him on for longer and suddenly it’s become Superman the Show.

Personally I think he's really suited to the role. He's got a softness about him that'll really work for Clark.

oh yeah I don’t doubt it. I think the only thing blocking me from seeing it is his facial hair which I assume will be gone. Just ‘cause you know he’s the all American superhero and all so like, seeing this consistently scruffy guy being cast is weird to me but I’m sure he’ll be great. I was just more surprised than anything, I wasn’t expecting that lol. Not to mention I still kind of think of him as an early 20-something b/c of teen wolf, but I guess he’s just barely older than Melissa so it’ll work.

I'm just glad that he's out of TW tbh and being back in my life as Superman is just such a blessing... it is so much

haha I can agree with that. I mean, I left TW before him (I watched like the first episode of s3 and then was basically like yeahhhh I’m done) but I’ve always wanted him and most of the cast to have high amounts of success. He’s a lil cutie who I can see working well with Mel. Especially if they possibly met because of Blake’s movie with him.

So I only just started watching the 100 s3 and the 'Monty might melt her' line is pissing me off because I don't GET IT but everyone's like 'hahaha this is the greatest line E V E R' and could you please explain it to me because I literally found your blog because I searched that line and meaning? and found you that would be gr9 please and thank you

Sorry for the delay lovely! I no longer have Internet so I haven’t been on tumblr much at alllll. Its a reference to the end of season two, since Monty hacked into Mount Weather’s mainframe and is the reason that Clarke and Bellamy could pull the lever to irradiate everyone.

So:

Monty is the reason everyone essentially ‘melted’ - as their skin goes all gross because sores and ouchies and death. Its Jasper’s stab at him for getting everyone killed.

I haven’t actually seen anymore season 3 beyond that episode though!! I have withdrawals and I c a n ‘ t w a t c h i t D:

[nervousnotion]

I'm screaming because the HD is in such AMAZING QUALITY?! It just... is just so GOOD? Like, HOW?

YES I AGREE AND MAY I RECCOMMEND YOU PUT ON A REALLY GOOD SET OF HEAPHONES WHILE WATCHING AS WELL BECAUSE HOLY SHIT

obsoleteangles replied to your post: All I  have available to me right...

So the parents are able to recognise that its their chick even if it didn’t hatch near them? How fascinating!

Oh no, not remotely. They are reacting like it’s some kind of big bad threat, none of them have any idea what it is lol

obsoleteangles said:

Is there a particular reason why you hatch them in the incubator and not let their mother do it? Just curious.

A few reasons, actually! The first of which is that it is safer and healthier for the chicks. Peafowl have a lifespan of 15-20 years, and every year from 3 on, hens will lay a clutch of 6-12 eggs and hatch them. Of those, only 1-3 of the chicks will actually survive the first three months. They are extremely cold-sensitive (brooder temps gotta be 99 instead of the 85 needed for chickens, and it’s barely 65-70 most days here right now). They have fragile digestive/immune systems until thy are about 3 months old; an infestation of worms they could pick up from wild insects/birds can kill them. Wild bird diseases that might not necessarily affect the adults can kill the chicks. And since none of my moms are alone, there’s always a chance another bird would trample/attack a baby- which is actually what Penny was doing in the photo, trying to scare off the baby, which typically precedes kicking and pecking. Indoors, we can keep them warmer, ensure they all have access to the correct amount of type of chow (we feed a medicated starter to keep them from dying of coccidiosis), and that no one is ailing from illness or injury.

Secondly, it both keeps the girls laying and prevents them from brooding. I know that seems like the same thing but it’s two reasons!

Keeps them laying: Since their laying season is may-august (4 months) and at best they lay only every-other day, each hen will lay a maximum of 60 eggs a year (which is not a lot compared to other ‘farm’ birds). In reality, they take 2 or sometimes 3 ‘breaks’ in laying per season, lasting 1-2 weeks each, where they don’t lay any eggs, meaning they lay more like 40 eggs a year. On a human level, I want those 40 eggs. The chicks I hatch (or eggs I sell) help me to offset the cost of keeping these birds in good health and welfare. If they stop for the 28 days it takes to hatch the eggs, I lose those eggs, and any I might have gotten while they are caring for the chicks- and taking the chicks away after hatch can be distressing to the mom who thinks she just can’t find her kids.

Prevents them from brooding: In order to hatch a clutch of eggs, mom has to sit on the nest for 28-30 days. While brooding, hens only leave the nest once a day to eat, drink, and put out one massive, stinky ‘broody poop.’ During this time their body condition can deteriorate (in some birds the urge to continue brooding is so strong they will sit on a nest until they die) to an unhealthy degree. In the wild, of course birds do this all the time, but there is no reason to put their bodies through brooding in captivity (although I have nothing against people who do, it’s just not something I do since I have a nice, reliable incubator).

And lastly, friendlier more bomb-proof birds! Hatched out in an incubator and hand raised by humans makes for friendlier peas that don’t stress out as badly when they have to interact with humans. I bought most of my peas young or hatched them myself, and while they aren’t cuddly, they also don’t flush up into the ceiling trying to get away from me like some birds will. Some of them will even take treats from my hands. This is both nice for me, and also safer for them- as they are very powerful birds, one bad flush into the ceiling could break their necks or backs or damage their wings or back. I actually lost Luna last winter to this behavior during a thunder/windstorm when the coop door came loose and blew shut, and she got spooked.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago and I loved it! The church scene IS the most awful, but when they take you into it you don't really focus on how bad it is. At least, I didn't. Have you seen Anchorman? Kingsman is kind of that style of fighting, like when the news crews are beating the tar out of each other. To each their own, and I totally believe you when you say your dad's seen some shit, but I would give it a chance. You never know - you might like it! Also, Samuel L Jackson with a lisp.

i’ll give it a hard pass. violence that is done in a desensitizing way isn’t good either, which is probably why my dad disliked this film so much. i’m actually happy he was able to tell me how needlessly violent it was beforehand, it wouldn’t have been a good film experience if i went
