I can’t even lie I do find a lot of HASO/Humans Are Weird things here frustrating because they tend to sort of… exaggerate things as general human traits. I dunno man there’s definitely PLENTY of people who get friendly with any wildlife they see, it happens all the time with people approaching moose, bison, seals and sea lions, even stray dogs and cats, but I think people forget that’s how a lot of people die or get grievously injured. We can be durable but we’re not THAT durable. And there’s still plenty of people who don’t do this.

And yk, these people still do exist ofc, whatever, but it especially bugs me when it’s like

Alien: GET AWAY FROM THAT, that is a Ywernvig, they’re incredibly dangerous and are hostile when approached and—

Human: *pets the alien critter, which is now docile and domestic after a few minutes* oh would ya look at that

Alien: …

This kind of idea, that any creature, no matter how dangerous, can be made tame with enough love, is… irritating to me, I guess. I mean correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m. pretty sure it takes a long time for most animals to be domesticated. Sometimes when you interact with an untamed animal, they WILL behave tamely!! A lot of animals DO like being pet by people!! But I usually see this with zoo animals, ones who particularly have a lot of experience with humans handling them. They are still very dangerous though. Especially wild animals, with little to no human interaction…

I think my problem with it isn’t that it’s happening, but that when it does happen it’s portrayed as like… comically quirky and dumb, like it’s a silly fun crazy thing to do. It’s fun the first time around, but seeing it a dozen times over makes me a little tired. Not every person attempts to befriend every thing they see. I know that’s apart of the fun of HASO, but people who do that end up getting gored by a moose, or get off real lucky.

And I mean if you like it that’s awesome sure I love that for you peace and love on planet Earth forever and ever!!! But this is my post, and it Bothers me

I think I would really instead love seeing trained professionals getting involved. There are humans who go running headfirst towards any alien animals they see, and about 1/3 of them get away unscathed. But the wildlife biologists, they set up tents, tug on a backpack, and get watching. They observe and observe and observe. They start tagging wildlife. At some point they’re sending out strange robot recreations of these animals, and seeing how they interact with the robots.

Zoos and rehabilitation centers are built, eventually. They find animals that have been pushed out of their territory by the dominating aliens expanding into their territory (destroying the environment isn’t just a human trait apparently). They find sick animals, disabled animals, so on.

Zoos aren’t an exclusively human concept, but there’s a new sense of excitement of a human-made zoo on a different alien’s planet. Most alien zoos focus on limiting contact as much as possible, in an attempt to recreate their environment they’ve destroyed. Humans have a more unique, hands on approach, and maybe that’s the appeal.

For aliens, it’s about preserving the environment as much as possible, no interference. For humans, it’s about preserving the animals, and sometimes that comes with consequences.

Abandoned babies are handfed, and are now reliant on people. They would have died in the wild, and now they can never survive in the wild.

Animals that would have normally died out live full and happy lives, and their survival is entirely unnatural.

The contact is there, but these animals, the human handlers must remind, are still dangerous, before showing off a nasty scar, or a hand missing some fingers.

Soar!!

I found an old sketch that I remember I liked a lot, even though I never got it work out well... and I was like hey, why not finish (or redraw) it now? So here's the dragon master-student duo!

Here's also the sketch for comparison:

psst pspspsps u should totally talk about grebbymints more ... i am enabling u......

AAAAAA bro….. my dude…. the thing is i always feel crazy talking about them together bc i think like they’ve only publicly interacted like 3 times? LOL (i have watched and documented every interview minty and grebby has appeared in for the leafs/marlies. it’s so bad. me being sick has actually helped me not be as weird about it since i had less screen time in general)

but even then me and @tufzy just constructed this whole separate reality in our heads for months about how like they prob got closer after getting called up and minty is the only familiar guy for grebby there due to being on the marlies together + no russian player on the leafs to fall back on for help so grebby is just sticking to minty’s side the whole time, and minty even tho he’s a lil popular with the leaf boys he still is looking out for his linemate. even when they get sent down they’re still drawn to each other out of habit. but i’m always like second guessing like wow this is pure delusion like maybe they don’t even fuck with each other like that it’s just coworker friendliness this rpf shit is truly a disease fr fr 🙏

and then the videos started dropping. they’re goofing off and pushing each other around during sewer ball. and then i see a single frame of minty next to grebs during the one rare tiktok that he shows up in. and the delusion starts anew

I don't think I'll have the time to finish it but here's my art for the first Ectoberhaunt prompt! I couldn't decide so I decided to do all three: past, present, and future

so once i saw a tdlosk x jjk x mp100 crossover fanfic on ao3 and it was like “yuji and gojo, reigen and mob, and saiki all hang out”! and i was like neat but tbh it’s kinda stands out to me that saiki’s the only one who. doesn’t have a mentor figure similar to the other so.

[nameification]

@horrorsprovider just so you know this gave me so much inspiration i had to stop myself from doing any more

a few more hcs related to this under the cut

pre grove incident:

-didn't "need" it that much but still had it in case -hyacine got it for him after the first soul splitting experiment when he needed to readjust to his body -used it mainly after any alchemy related/soul splitting experiments -many areas he frequents have become very accessible bc of this

post grove incident: -your body being reanimated does numbers to your motor functions -he tries to stay put as much as possible but sometimes you just gotta go outside -left his old cane in the grove (even if he tried to find it it's probably destroyed) so for a while he did rely on cerces to help him move around and at the very least make it appear like he was not in too much pain but he didn't like how not in control of that body he felt so he eventually went out to get himself a new cane -he actually meets hyacine again but since she probably knows of the extent of the damage shes like "professor a cane would be way unhelpful right now !! you shouldn't really be up and about at all, actually... but if you insist on getting out then please use a wheelchair or at the very least forearm crutches !!!" -he relents, convincing hyacine to get him a pair of forearm crutches and a cane -hyacine was right. it's better with the forearm crutches for the first week or two and then he switches over to the cane -there are not a lot of accessibility accomodations in okhema (</3) but he makes it work

other -he likes the cane more than the forearm crutches because he likes having at least one hand free -cerces really helped in the readjustment process a lot because something that would take at least a few years to recover properly (he was *dead* surrounded by *black tide*) took about two months ^two months is the average timeframe between versions and im using that as the basis for the time it took for naxy to relearn how to walk properly. hes definoprobably still in a lot of pain by 3.2 but hey he can walk and maybe fight again !

A (very random) observation

[premamelody]

amity, one of the main founders of the waterfall resistance group. for some reason i keep imagining her voice to be zira from tlk2 despite not really being like her??? idk, zira it is bro. that also reminds me i kept thinking of vita's voice as, wait for it, you will not believe this, vitani. cub vitani. yeah thats where vita's name come from. i watched tlk2 one day and it gave me motivation to work on the rest of waterfall res's group so ig as thank you i made parts of them inspired by some of the characters.

a lot of her is cutthroat and brash but she means well. she's a great motivator, organizer, and a connivingly smart orchestrator. the moon theme is on purpose. a lot of her childhood was rooted in watchinig the night with her parents

idk i feel her voice would be deeper and more rashy.

edit: forgot to mention but in the earlier days she was apart of ambraline's band. now she's often busy and only comes on at big celebrations and such as a guest star. mad guitarist.
