The war was a hundred years ago, yet you still find yourself startling easy. Unsecured cargo hitting the inside your hull sounds awfully similar to a boarding vessel. You're about to disregard the sounds when you realize the ship's mass has increased.

The human body is such bullshit, I hate having to google shit like "why am I having stress symptoms when there are no sources of stress in my life".

[lord-of-butter]

Fuck it. Utahraptor Big Bird.

knight who is constantly searching for a good and noble king to serve but cannot fucking find one for the life of him so he has to become the good and noble king himself.

and now all these other knights are coming around like "please let me serve you" and like obviously hes going to let them serve him thats the point of being a good and noble king but its also. very annoying. one of you become the good and noble king for once lets trade

Guess whose job just started raising Lake Sturgeon (Huso fulvescens)! These little dudes were spawned from one of the first natural spawning runs detected in Missouri for years, and are just starting to transition to a diet of bloodworms! (They scarfed down everything we gave them in no time flat, less than 30 minutes after a 400-mile drive)

That’s right! The Superior Sturgeon is BACK, BABY!!!

PS: @sturgeonposting , these things and shortnose sturgeon were added to the Huso genus along with Beluga! 🤯

(I can't guarantee that I'll be super active this time 'round, I'll be very busy :'] I'll try my very best to respond to as many attacks as I can, but I'm so sorry if I don't manage to get around to everyone)

my top 5 Aloy outfits in HFW (◡‿◡ ) had trouble choosing between the Tenakth outfits bc I love them all

escaping her shadow

[lord-of-butter]

My fave Aloy outfits ✨

[lord-of-butter]

‘Glad I brought a cart!’

Had this one in my mind for too long. I always smiled, whenever Aloy picked up something saying ‘Should have brought a cart!’. So I went for it. And considering how practical Aloy is, she’d prolly tame a watcher to pull the cart too. 💙

[lord-of-butter]

A quick 3 hour painting study I did of Aloy. I love color. More to share! Stay tuned! Follow me for more art. ☺❤🎨☕

My second cover for the Horizon: Zero Dawn comic, featuring Talanah and Aloy! This is a variant cover for issue #2 ~ I love the richness and beauty of the Horizon universe, it was so much fun to be able to create this cover and work with Guerrilla Games and  Titan Comics once again!

Hell Yeah Tenakth Skirmisher

hi guys oh my god i made this for an art school assignment and it gave me the biggest crisis of my life, i still lowkey hate it but im posting it anyway bc Horizon fandom deserves to be fed. Took some creative liberties w the armor bc i kept forgetting how parts looked and was too lazy to check so i made them up lol. I never do fight scenes or action poses or perspectives so this was a challenge and i personally feel like i failed miserably but let me know what y'all think *sobs*

Most annoying thing to remember is that you're litterally just a homosapien. You're just a very smart animal. If you feel like shit, imagine you're an exotic pet for some alien species and do what they'd do to keep you healthy. You gotta be well cared for. Animal abuse is a crime for a reason

"My pet human, Greg, hasn't left his bed in a long time. He's just scrolling his phone all day" Greg needs enrichment. Add enrichment in his enclosure and take him on walks

"Greg has been super lethargic and sad recently for seemingly no reason" Greg need vitamins, take him outside for some vitamin D and fresh air. Perhaps a picnic

"Greg won't sleep even though he's been super lethargic" Greg needs a schedule, especially for the lights in his enclosure.

"Greg has been super distant recently and keeps crying to sad music" Humans are pack animals, he needs to hug another human and hang out. Perhaps pack bond with a rock together

"Greg has been flailing around and panicking, his breathing is way faster than it should be" Greg is overwhelmed. Take Greg out of the situation and give him time to calm down. Perhaps somewhere cozy with tea and a movie

"Greg won't do what he needs to do" Train him. Humans do great with positive reinforcement, give him little treats when he's doing good

"Greg he's been super anxious and tired, he can't seem to enjoy his days" Humans needs to move around. Give Greg something to exercise with. Things like stretching, weight lifting, walking, or even dancing will help

"Even though I've taken really good care of Greg, he still has been having issues" Greg is ill, take him to the doctor. You might need a specialist (therapist, optometrist, oncologist, etc)

I know it feels patronizing, and I know it feels embarrassing or that you're "just giving into the clichés", but you are literally just a creature. You need to sleep/eat on time, you need enrichment, and you need to take care of your social needs. Humans are complicated animals, but they are also beautiful and all deserve proper care. This obviously isn't a perfect analogy, nothing is, but if you saw your friend taking care of their pet the way you take care of yourself, would you be concerned?
