@thornwolfy235 replied to your post “"haha wha tif I gave the vampire au grillby...”:
I must know more about firebirb with sword.
FIREBIRD GRILLBY TIME
He's still heavily fire-aligned, and MAN does he give off incredible amounts of heat, but the only "fire" part of him is really, his crest and partially his tail (and even then, if you rifle through it, it's a weird feather+fire mixture at the base). He's very much solid under all that fluff.
All his feathers, whether golden or crimson, give off incredible amounts of light, even after being shed. So while this massive bird form is great for fast moving around, he's also a massive, glowing target, so his tactic of choice is flying into enemy lines, transforming into his more compact, humanoid form and then wreaking havoc with his claymore and fire magic on the ground. inventory magic comes really in handy, though he might have some kind of sword strap even in his birb form i'm not really sure. lol
Firebirds are not from the part of the world where the war takes place; he's traveled a bit. not entirely of his own volition, sometimes. firebird feathers are highly valuable and their song highly coveted; he has some Bad Experiences. he also has language troubles for a while but since he doesn't talk much it's not that. apparent.

Really really don't get why so many people seem to have this burning hatred for Ukraine where they'll just... bring them up randomly purely to drag them through the mud and it's like... ok... but... do you actually know a single thing about Ukraine or what's been happening there?
Do you for instance remember when a major dam was destroyed by russia causing massive ecological damage?
Like I'm dead serious here, can you tell me a single thing that's happened in Ukraine in the last 2 years? Can you in any way demonstrate any basic understanding of the situation?
Cause if not... why do you think you should have an opinion on it, especially if your opinion is gonna be how awful people getting bombed are?
Just legit bothers me and... even more so bothers me the number of smart and caring people I see doing this. Basically I'm not even trying to be rude here, I'm trying to remind you to pay attention and remember that not everything you read on the internet is true, a tumblr post isn't a source unless they're giving you a reputable source
Cause like me? I can go track you down articles about the Nova Kakhovka dam being destroyed, and I can talk about all the reason why it's pretty clear that russia destroyed it
Can you do the same for me? Can you back up your claim about Ukraine with something concrete?
In many ways I'm not even asking you to support Ukraine, I get we have a limit to how much we can focus on, it's ok if you focus on your cause and I focus on mine and... both of us giving our undivided attention, maybe we both make some small impact on the world
What I'm asking is you don't be an asshole for no reason. You don't need to throw Ukraine under the bus. Don't you think your cause stands up on it's own two feet?
And again I'm not Ukrainian, I don't know as well as someone there, though... I spare you a lot of the stuff that crosses my dash because I don't want to burn people out with horrible stuff, but please understand it's worse than you probably think
So no, not Ukrainian, but I'll tell you why I'm still worth listening to: I've followed this every day since the invasion began. I keep my ear to the ground. I do know a fair bit and again can back what I have to say up
Anyway, my plea is to just not be a dick to people for no reason. The correct number of bombed civilians is zero, that's my stance

it's real. this furry leaked the US government's no fly list onto the internet and now ppl on twitter are upset because this furry is a bi lesbian. 💀 it might go to jail but ppl on twitter are more concerned whether its sexuality is valid or not ;_;
People keep saying that it’s real but I still have not seen any links. Like??? Are there news articles??? Twitter threads??? Apparently it has a Wikipedia page that I can’t google rn bc I’m at work
I’m not denying that it’s real at all btw I’m FULLY invested. I’m just begging for a crumb of context

You work at a zoo????? 💛💛💛💛 do you like it??? Do you have any fun stories??
I do, yes! I like it a lot*, it's definitely a really cool thing that I'm really grateful to have the opportunity to do.
As far as fun stories, I've discovered that what I consider a fun story these days is horrifying to most people, and the things that are really awesome to most people are just. Tuesday to me.
I did get to name a secretary bird Anakin, though, that was a good time lmao (he came to us from a different zoo, and the incoming paperwork said he hated sand, crushed eggs on a regular basis, and didn't really like short people or women - so I made the obvious aotc reference and everyone liked it so much we renamed him when he came in).
[Image ID: a secretary bird laying in some grass]
^ I'm pretty sure that's Anakin, it might be Peggy though. (We tossed around renaming her to Padme but decided against it. I was very sad.)
