#Hunting Trophy

hey man how's it going

[fanaroff]

This isn’t even close to the usual things I post, but I keep coming across posts similar to this and have a gripe.

This is pointlessly gendered.

How is hanging up just a deer skull, or using it as decoration on a shelf, any different from when men/other people hang up a deer head in their living room?

How is this-

-somehow more stigmatized than this?

Is it because it’s thought that the skulls are just gathered? Some women hunt the deer themselves and clean the skull themselves. Most taxidermy I’ve seen, you commission other people to do it rather than yourself. And most of the well known taxidermists that show their work and more on YouTube are women.

On top of that, I’ve seen some decorations for men that are pretty banger and aesthetic too.

Don’t create unnecessary problems or issues over what is objectively the same thing. The same types decorations from the same types of creatures. You’re still using a dead animal as decoration. If a woman decides to pretty hers up, then that’s her choice. If you’re jealous of it? Okay? You know you’re allowed to pretty up your kills too, right?

One isn’t better than the other just because you think it’s a “woman thing” to collect skulls or something. One isn’t more “powerful” than the other. Death is more powerful than gender. You’ll be skulls too, one day.

I earmarked this to reblog on Christmas, but I don't remember why, but I might've had a valid reason, so...Merry Christmas!

The Predator series has always been a condemnation of Trophy and Big Game hunting. Its the perfect analogy for these rich ass holes shooting an elephant and acting like they're master sports men.

Advanced tech, striking without warning, taking only trophies and not using the whole kill (killing more than necessary in general)

There's nothing fair in it. No tracking only stalking. No sportsmanship only slaughter.

In AVP they introduce an invasive species just to hunt and then lose control of it.

All the Honour among warriors stuff is kind of bull shit. Predator 1 the Yautja knows it's going to lose and nukes the jungle. Tries it in 2 as well. And AVP.

They're not a misunderstood species practicing their cultural rituals any more than a dentist killing a lion is.

One of the never talked about points of the franchise is that there's no honour in that kind of hunting. You cant require your prey to earn honour and respect. You have to have it going into the hunt and take only what you need.

RJ's Platinum Collection #50: Gotham Knights

Achieved on 2/17/2024 at 11:55 PM

I've said before that I love Batman, but one of my favorite parts of the Batman mythos is the Batfamily. I love Nightwing, I love Robin, I love Batgirl, I love Red Hood. I love all of the "Batkids" dearly, so when I discovered that this was a game where you play as Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake, I was overjoyed and super excited. And even though this game was not perfect, I am still so glad that I got this Platinum - even if there were a few hiccups along the way.

So Gotham Knights begins with the very bold decision to have Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, die in the opening scene. This forces his proteges to take over defending Gotham without him, and they start by investigating Bruce's last case before he died, leading to them uncovering a conspiracy involving the Court of Owls and the League of Shadows.

I decided to just play through the game blind and see what trophies I collected as I went along. How the game works is that you start in the Belfry, the team's headquarters, and choose which character you want to go out as. When you leave the Belfry, it changes to nighttime, and your chosen character has free reign to do whatever you want until you return to the Belfry. You can do story missions, stop crimes, or just mess around.

I started off by getting a feel for all of the characters, getting a few trophies along the way. I ended up playing as all four characters mostly evenly throughout the game, but I definitely ended up favoring Nightwing and Batgirl, with Robin in second place and Red Hood, unfortunately, in last place.

1/49: First Step Into The Knight - Unlock an ability for the first time.

2/49: Not On My Watch - Successfully stop all Premeditated Crimes in a single night.

3/49: The Batman Family - Play as Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and Red Hood.

After I thought I had learned how to play all four characters, I started tackling story missions. The game's story is split into "cases", and I completed the first case as Robin who visits Harley Quinn at Blackgate prison for information.

4/49: Har, Har, Har, Very Funny - Visit Harley Quinn at Blackgate Penitentiary.

5/49: Loose Ends - Complete Case File 01: Batman's Last Case.

Case 02 introduces you to the Villain Case Files. These are three side mission storylines where Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze, and Clayface cause havoc. I ended up working my way through all three sets of missions while I was completing the main story.

6/49: To The Victor Go The Spoils - Face off against Mr. Freeze at S.T.A.R. Labs.

7/49: Get ReQ'd - Discover a sketchy self-help program on the streets of Gotham.

8/49: Knighthood - Reach Knighthood with Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, or Red Hood.

9/49: Something in the Clay - Find a villain who shouldn't be in Gotham.

While playing Case 02 I also got my first trophy for defeating a certain amount of enemies. There are multiple different crime organizations in Gotham - the Freaks, the Regulators, and the Mob to start, and then the Court of Owls and League of Shadows as the game progresses. Each organization has different enemy types, and they all have trophies associated with defeating a certain number of them. Each organization will spawn randomly across the map each night, so I was in for some grinding in order to get the numbers I needed.

10/49: Bulldozed - Defeat 30 Freaks Bulldozers.

11/49: Unstoppable Force - Unlock all four Momentum bars as Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, or Red Hood.

12/49: Whispered Words - Complete Case File 02: The Rabbit Hole.

13/49: Shock Til They Drop - Defeat 45 Regulator Shockers.

14/49: Lock and Key - Complete Case File 03: In The Shadows.

15/49: Family Meeting - Defeat 30 Mob Godmothers.

16/49: Working Hard or Harley Working? - Interrupt Harley Quinn's presentation at the Monarch Theater.

17/49: Bad Apples in Every Orchard - Complete Case File 04: The Masquerade.

18/49: Protector of Gotham - Complete 50 Challenges.

19/49: From Inside Gotham's Walls - Complete Case File 05: The Court of Owls.

20/49: Gotham City Confidential - Find all of Bruce Wayne's hidden audio recordings.

21/49: The Show Mud Go On - Crash Clayface's film set.

22/49: Fusion Expert - Acquire 50 modchips via mod fusion.

23/49: Solid Alibi - Successfully protect Batman's secret identity.

24/49: Voiceless - Complete Case File 06: Jacob Kane.

25/49: In Your Element - Inflict elemental effects on enemies 50 times.

26/49: Quartzer Life Crisis - Investigate the disruption at Quartz Labs.

27/49: Seeking Asylum - Complete Case File 07: The League of Shadows.

28/49: Drone You Out - Defeat 30 Regulator Drone Masters.

Once I had gotten to the final case of the game, I found myself in a bit of a pickle. The next story mission required you to hunt down three Man-Bats around Gotham, but I found myself having extreme difficulty beating them and progressing the story. In fact, I had found the game had become extremely difficult. Interesting.

After a few failed tries, I decided to take a break from that mission and instead clean up the three Villain Case Files. I finished Harley, Freeze, and Clayface's storylines and got the last trophies for each villain.

29/49: Snow Problem - Defeat Mr. Freeze at Elliot Center.

30/49: Universal Health Scare - Defeat Harley Quinn at Gotham City General Hospital.

31/49: Rock and a Hard Place - Defeat Clayface at the Gotham Reservoir.

32/49: Cooldown - Stop Mr. Freeze from breaking out of Blackgate.

33/49: End of an Era - Complete all Villain Case Files.

Then I went back to the story mission, but once again found myself unable to beat the Man-Bats. So I decided to do some clean-up while I psyched myself up to try again, and got six trophies before I decided to once again take the monster bats on.

34/49: Expert Crime Fighter - Prevent 250 crimes in Gotham.

35/49: A Momentum Occasion - Unlock all Momentum Abilities as Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, or Red Hood.

36/49: Practice Makes Perfect - Complete all 16 Training Area exercises.

37/49: Out of Their League - Defeat 45 League of Shadows Assassins and 30 Rocketeers.

38/49: Claiming the Mural High Ground - Discover all of the murals for Tim's Gotham City Street Art project.

39/49: Bat Out Of Hell - Complete every Batcycle time trial.

I am not kidding when I say I tried for days to beat the Man-Bats, and I still could not. I got so frustrated, I put the game down and didn't pick it back up for months and months. When I did pick it back up, I still couldn't beat the Man-Bats, not helped that I had forgotten how to play the game by this point. However, I then discovered something that made me want to walk into the ocean.

Somehow, I had completely forgotten over the course of the entire game to upgrade any of my weapons.

I was in the final chapter of the game, and all of my weapons and equipment were still at Level 1.

I felt like the biggest dumbass on the planet.

No wonder the game had become so extremely hard! I was playing the game on challenge mode and didn't even know it!

Once I upgraded everything, I beat the Man-Bats easily and then continued playing until I had defeated the final boss and completed the main story of the game, at long last.

40/49: Gotham Knight - Complete Case File 08: Head Of The Demon.

Now all I had to do was clean up all of the remaining trophies. I spent a few days completing the remaining collectibles, unlocking all the remaining abilities, defeating the last enemies I needed, and crafting some Legendary level equipment, using guides where I needed to.

41/49: History Major - Locate all Landmarks in Gotham City.

42/49: The Man-Bat Family - Defeat 10 Man-Bats.

43/49: Dressed to Impress - Craft a complete set of Legendary equipment.

44/49: Talonted - Defeat 40 Feral Talons, 25 Gladiator Talons, and 15 Hunter Talons.

45/49: Read Owl About It - Collect all the missing pages of the Historia Strigidae.

46/49: A Worthy Successor - Unlock all Knighthood abilities for any member of the Batman Family.

47/49: Batarang Collector - Retrieve every hidden Batarang in Gotham City.

After all of that, I just needed to start New Game+ and replay the game until I got one of the characters up to the Maximum power level. I decided to play all of the story missions as Batgirl until I hit the max power level, at which point I got the Platinum and exited the game for the last time.

48/49: He'd Be So Proud Of You - Reach the Maximum level as any member of the Batman Family.

49/49: Heir to the Cowl - Earn every trophy in Gotham Knights.

I will be honest, this is not a perfect game. The map is a little uninspired, the combat is clunky - nothing like the smooth combat of the Arkham series - but I like the plot, and honestly the thing that made the game for me was the interactions between Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood. There is SO MUCH amazing Batfamily content, so while this game might not be for hardcore gamers, I think this is an awesome game for people who love the Batman world as much as I do!

Rating: 7/10

Oh, worm?

Avilable in my shoppyyyy --> HERE

I was asked in the past if i would replicate my worm on a string hunting trophy but the problem is that buying tons of these worms and cutting their heads off is very cruel and also wasteful so i decided to make one from scratch! With fuzzy flocking and REAL googly eyes!! You can buy one if you like :D

[redstringraven]

Imagine being hunted by a group of trans girls

You’re dropped off completely naked in the middle of the forest and have 30 minutes to run. You scramble over rocks and trees, the ground roughing up your feet. You’re dripping with sweat, panting for air when you hear the whistle blow. You take off running again, desperate to escape from us.

You run and run. You can’t stop for one second, we’re chasing you down. As you tire, you move slower, easier prey for me to find.

It isn’t long until you hear a thunk and the pinprick of a dart on your neck. The last thing you see before you passed out is me, exhilarated by the thrill of the hunt.

You wake to a salty taste in your mouth. Your hands and feet are bound, displaying your winking hole for all to see. Above you stand me and my friends. We’re still in our camouflage gear, but we’ve each pulled our cocks out. Looking down, you realise we’ve been at you for a while. Streaks of cum coat your whole body.

One girl kneels down in front of your hole. You know what’s coming, but still let out a shout of surprise as she enters you. Her cock is warm and filling, and you moan as she thrusts into you.

Your hole twitches as she pulls out, eager for another. We’re all too happy to provide.

Your hole overflows when we’re done, and we prop you up for the souvenir photo. Your dumb face smiles happily, your brain unable to register what is happening. Soon we pack you up, ready for you to be our pet.

I’m not one to judge someone for their hobbies, but trophy hunting angers me beyond me belief as a lion and an antelope alike.

I hate whenever I try to find references of my ‘types and, without fail, the first few results show some dickhead (usually an American) posing with the corpses of my kind.

We don’t exist so you can chase your stupid thrills and parade around our bodies afterwards.

We don’t exist to be your fucking spoils.

Trophy Hunt

Since it's clear that trafficking does exist in TWST through PlayfulLand, do you think beastmen/races with animal characteristics or UM get hunted? Like, yeah, there are animal leathers. But you never know—there could be shady individuals who would also want a magical one for its unique properties. There are probably potions to turn into animals as well in case their victim doesn't have full form.

I love my boy Sebek, but I have also walked past alligator leather stores, and my god, this has been haunting me for weeks every time I think of the giant hide they hang on the wall or Jack even, man is a walking fur rug.
