I sell my jewelry and crystals in my shop.

What you get:

The pictured labradorite and black opal (natural Australian Lightning Ridge black opal) skull necklace. It’s pictured in shiny copper with a 14k rose gold filled chain, however if the winner wishes, I can darken it and use a darkened copper chain.

A high quality, super detailed carved labradorite seahorse.

Together, these have a retail value of about $300

Writing Intelligence.

Everybody has that character, sometimes they’re good problem solvers, other times they’re omniscient, but everyone has the smart one.

The main two types of intelligence is Knowledge vs Speed. You can figure out which a character is by asking this question: When they have their “smart” moments, would an average person know what the hell they’re talking about? If yes, they’re fast, if not, they’re knowledgeable.

A knowledgeable person will be:

An expert in their field.

Possessing of heavenly/otherworldly knowledge.

Know how to do whatever the plot requires.

The one with seven PHDs

Think:

Up above are fabulous characters, when they’re having a “smart moment” they spout rapid fire space/medical jargon to emphasise just how smart they are. No one can fully understand their thought process, (and everyone who can is getting offended because TV is ridiculously inaccurate).

A quick person will be:

A rapid problem solver.

The fastest learner in the history of learning.

Able to come to conclusions anyone with common sense could come to, just in a millisecond.

The world champion of brain teaser games and riddles.

Think:

Now you may say the characters up above do have specialised knowledge, rightly so. But more often than not they’re basing their smartness on stuff the audience has already seen. This makes the audience feel stupid when they explain their reasoning, while also being more in awe at how fast they’ve figured it out.

Think of this Sherlock deduction: “The wedding ring, ten years old at least. The rest of her jewellery has been regularly cleaned, but not her wedding ring - state of her marriage, right there.” No sciencey words, no mention of Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, a logically sound deduction that the audience can understand.

Many people mention their fast characters as knowledgeable, sure, Sherlock is an expert chemist, but the majority of his deductions use common sense. And sure, House is sharp and quick-witted, but the majority of his deductions are based on his extensive medical knowledge.

It’s all about how you want to portray your character, child prodigies have no knowledge other than common sense to work with. While an immortal time traveller’s knowledge of who built the pyramids, and quantum mechanics enhance their awesomeness.

This may be a stupid question but I see you are breeding your snake whiskey who I've seen thru your blog is a somewhat difficult personality (idk if that's how to put it? Skittish and quite maybe?) I know some people who breed dogs don't breed animals with less than ideal temperament. Are snakes not as big a worry as dogs and such in passing their temperament to the offspring? I'm not as familiar as I'd like to be on something like that. Is it more raising the young compared to passing genetics?

Nothing has really been studied in terms of ball pythons, not even informally from what I gather, but the general consensus is “not really.” This is something I have considered though, since the “not really” answer comes from typical ball python breeders and they aren’t really the most accurate source of information.Whiskey altogether isn’t that bad anymore.She still won’t consistently eat frozen thawed prey, and I do have to move quite slow around her, or she curls up or flight mode kicks in and all she wants to do is get away. She’s a fantastic eater though, when fed appropriate prey lol, and she is quite confident as long as I follow her rules. She also grows obscenely fasts surprisingly fast. She sheds monthly now. It’s also important to consider she is a captive hatched, wild bred animal. Her lines have not been in captivity until her- wild caught animals tend to be much more skittish than captive bred. She’s not bitey by any means, now that she has acclimated (which took an unusual amount of time, which I think can be attributed to her ch/wb status).

Because of all this, Whiskey was paired with my calmest breeder male, Hyperion, who also has the appetite of a lion. He’s super confident, although similarly to Whiskey, he does not like things being around his face and will flinch back. The downside is he can be a little over enthusiastic about feeding and has mistaken my hand and the camera for food on more than one occasion. He also does not consistently take f/t prey and I sometimes have to feed him live.

Had Whiskey stayed jumpy, bitey, and not a good eater @fractiousrvt and I would have reevaluated her breeding plan. Thankfully she improved, notably.

I also considered this for most of my other snakes, with the exception of Khaleesi and Apollo.Eos was paired with Rhea to improve appetite, since young Eos was finnicky and Rhea is a reliable feeder. She also is a bit wary of being handled whereas Rhea is one of the most confident snakes ever. Asteria and Prometheus were paired also for appetite- Asteria is very good at eating Prom not so much. She’s also less flighty than him, though neither care for handling for long periods of time.Khaleesi and Apollo are a different sort of situation though. I was hard pressed to find any hypo genetic stripe female for my breeding project that fit my standards and Charlene from Supernova Reptiles was kind enough to lend Khaleesi to me. I lucked out I guess. She’s a reliable eater of f/t prey, where Apollo is not. Apollo tolerates handling fairly well. And they are both quite calm animals that allow me to invade their space.

Ooo this was a fun question.

i have never understood or played magic the gathering, but i have nothing but respect for it after seeing this tittieless snake woman

you could have gone the easy route. you could have given her titties. but you didn’t. cause she’s a reptile. thank you mtg. thank you.

She is feeling Fresh and Fabulous.

SHE SURE IS because she is literally finishing up a shed there, look, you can see the last of it clinging to her tail

but she’s already dressed again, after peeling off the skin that would previously have been under that armor

the only logical conclusion here is that she wanted a picture of herself at her SHINIEST and PRETTIEST and hurried to get dressed once enough of her fresh and shiny new skin was uncovered

I bet her bestie took the picture and has been eagerly waiting with the magical fantasy camera for like, hours

“oh my GOD T’sissra your scales are SO VIBRANT this picture is going to be AMAZING”
