so @coolestninja1242 texted me last night “deer but instead of antlers…arms” and i’m like “i have to draw that. i can’t not draw that.” so you can blame this nightmare fuel monstrosity on her lol
Just a note to the people saying they want one: these small friends are called axolotls and they’re currently critically endangered because of people taking them out of their natural habitat to be pets so like… don’t buy one please just leave these lil guys be
I have good news and bad news:
Bad news: these guys ARE critically endangered in the wild because they live in like, 2 lakes in Mexico that are eutrophic (fish can’t live because there’s so little oxygen because the plant life uses it all) and food production efforts (Mexico City was trying to feed its poor, and released a lot of hearty invasive species that ate all of them). They are basically extinct in the wild so you can’t actually get them out of their natural habitat. (There’s a lot of conservation effort though)
Good news: Axolotls are WILDLY important to scientists wrt their regenerative abilities, so breeding programs are super common, super popular, super easy bc axolotls don’t have a breeding season and fuck like champions, and if you really want an axolotl, you’re getting one that’s been bred in captivity and it’s really not going to hurt the wild population at all.
Aren’t all the captive-bred axolotls descended from ones caught back in the 19th century? They’re like white lab rats, pretty much a domesticated subspecies.
you know what i don’t see enough of? circus kid dick grayson critiquing the joker because he’s a bad clown. not like, bad, and also a clown. but bad at being a clown. i want to see dick grayson taking the existence of this horrible clown very personally as a matter of professional pride. he has known clowns, and you, sir, are no clown. the joker is an insult to the legacy of emmett kelly and this shall not stand.
“Sir, you are no clown! Your slapstick is shoddy, your prat falls are practically nonexistent, and you have NO sense of comedic timing! Do you even have ANY idea what type of clown you’re trying to pull off? Are you a Straight Whiteface, or a Grotesque Whiteface? Because you have no commitment to character that I can see! You can’t just slap on some makeup and call yourself a clown. There’s a proud history to be upheld! I BET YOU NEVER EVEN GOT A DEGREE FROM CLOWN COLLEGE!!!”
*Joker and henchmen stare in shocked silence as Dick continues his rant*
#Joker changes his rivalry from Batman to Nightwing because he’s so offended
#Dick storms into Arkham and stomps down the halls to Joker’s cell
“AND ANOTHER THING!”
Highkey here for this.
DRAG HIS FAKE CLOWN ASS
Dick Grayson losing it entirely one evening, and speed dialing everyone in Young Justice and Justice League, telling them to bring themselves, make up remove, a change of clothes, and a willingness to learn. He texts the address to a warehouse, and a few hours later, the Justice Clown Posse rolls out in a suspiciously small car in pursuit of putting Joker into retirement.
Just wish to point that actual Emmet Kelly played at least
one villainous-clown role in a movie (The
Fat Man, 1951), and he was a proper circus clown who was also evil.
i’ve been seeing red poppies everywhere except at the quaker meeting house, which has a wreath of white poppies, and I was wondering what it was about
yeah! I’ve always worn the red and white poppy together – I didn’t actually realise until recently that it was controversial, but some organisations (like the First Aid charity St John’s Ambulance) are only allowing their members to wear them this year. As far as I know, no one in my immediate family was killed in action; but I have great-uncles, great-grandfathers, one grandfather and a family friend who were veterans of WWI and II. The misuse by right-wing nationalists in Britain of their memory and that of people like them is pretty blatantly false to what they fought & suffered for.
