Fake baby birds.
Tumblr media
For some reason there have been a lot of incorrect and even fake images of baby birds going around. Perhaps you saw the AI generated fake baby peacock? The baby crow is a real photo of a real young avian... but it's not a crow (Turns out this fluffy little one is a baby rail-- more info here at the "corvid research blog" which has been mad about this photo for like years. )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Over on the Fediverse (most call it 'Mastodon') there are a lot of people posting about science and nature. @[email protected], Carl T. Bergstrom shared his photo of a (real) fledgling crow just a few hours out of the nest... just look:
Tumblr media
What a little curmudgeon! Look at the too big beak and feet! The "so done with it" corvid gaze.
This bird looks like the kind of kid who spends all their time talking to whatever adults will listen about their obsession with traffic light timing. At first? It's kinda cute and a little annoying, but then it
gets really interesting because it turns out some of the light timing problems are related to graph theory---(this got way too specific... But you know the type right? Always calls you Mr. ___ or Mrs. ___ even if you tell them not to?) If you love corvids you should follow Carl T. Bergstrom over on the Fediverse. Every day there's new drama with these guys.

The lovely crew at the UNAEL discord server brought to my attention this example of Sumerian in the wild, at Sumerian Cuts hair salon in Heidelberg, Germany. While these are cuneiform signs, they don’t have much to do with hair care.
Clockwise from top: 𒋼𒈾 ten means “to be cold, cool”, as in the temperature, or “to be calm”. 𒂼 ama is “mother”. 𒆠𒋅 ki ang is “to love”. And 𒀉 a means “arm, wing, strength, workforce, salary, time” among other things.
It seems they’ve borrowed these from a meme that’s gone around of various mostly-inaccurate Sumerian terms, since, for example, 𒆠𒋅 ki ang doesn’t mean “love” as a noun, just as a verb. And they seem to have taken 𒂼 ama from the compound 𒂼𒄄 amagi, popularly translated as “freedom” but more literally meaning “non-enslavement”, but failed to include the crucial second sign!
This is why every hair salon should have a Sumerian speaker on staff, of course. Thanks again to everyone over at the UNAEL server (which covers many ancient and endangered languages) for their detective work.

my uncle (~65 y/o) was adamant that Jägermeister was made with deer blood - a fact he read on The Facebook. When we googled to show that not only is it not true but absurd as well, he got really quiet and then sat outside alone in the dark for an hour. Dude straight up threw himself a pity party.

Quackity: These past days I've been in many calls, and I'm not done yet. I've spoken to a lot of people and creators. I've read your comments and I'm well aware of what needs to be done to carry out this project. I want to tell you all, beforehand, that for me the team's well-being is fundamental. I'm very involved in this topic to sort it out and I want to make that very clear. I want to tell you something... I want to tell you all that the administrative staff responsible for so much harm to the project has been fired. Specifically, those who made decisions without my permission, affecting the administrative and financial area of the project. Consequently, after this, I was in charge of doing a financial analysis that's carrying out for the QSMP.
Guys, to be really honest, it was not going to last. Therefore, I've had to make deep drastic structural changes that have lead me to reduce the performance of the server down to the most essential, and this is in order to ensure the well being of everyone involved in it. Having said this, I want to give a very important update: I want to let you all know that the QSMP will have to slow down temporarily. This is to ensure this new structure adapts to the project, because it's a restructuring that's taking place. I'm letting you know, and I reiterate, there are no voluntary positions inside the QSMP.
At the moment, there will not be any more individual update accounts of all 5 existing languages in the project. In any case, during this transition, there's going to be a temporal absence of all Eggs and NPCs. I know these are difficult changes, and I repeat, it's temporary until we adjust to these new conditions that will improve the performance of this new structure that's being made from scratch, both in the administrative and financial part. I'd like to reintegrate people fro the QSMP as time goes by if a financial viability can be found for the project Taking advantage of this update to tell you guys that within the changes of the server as it is, creators will have full control of their lore and stories. The team will not intervene in the way that it was being done. Moreover, efforts will be made to change the competitive dynamics inside the game so as to ease up the game style for the creators. Like I'm saying, all of these changes, and more, are being carrying out to have the project as best as possible, and they're being done little by little. This is a whole new structure that will ensure the best continuity and experience for the creators, the community and the team behind.
Guys, I want to make very clear that this is restructuring process, and again, it's not a fast one. The server being open does not mean everything's perfect, I understand that very well. Conversations will keep taking place, communication will continue and the constant improvement of the project as well. I ask, please, for everyone's patience and understanding regarding all changes. Please do wait for official announcements since a lot of incomplete and incorrect information is being spread. I want to tell you all something- if you don't trust in these changes or have many doubts about it, and don't want to consume any more of the project's content, I understand 100%. I have a personal commitment with the QSMP and I will work until it functions in the way it is supposed to do.
Lastly, I want to let you know that it was being worked on for months on finalizing the integration of Korean creators to the QSMP. For that reason, tomorrow we will be welcoming the new Korean creators of the QSMP, of course, taking into account all the changes I've just mentioned. I hope you can give the new Korean members warm welcome to the project. And as you know, their schedules are earlier. For everyone who would like to watch, they will be joining at 11am Mexico time and at 9am US time. Basically, I wanted to give that update regarding everything that's being done within the project. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding- these are necessary changes and I'm glad they're being done now. And many more things will keep being adjusted.

Currently obsessed with the idea that the boys go to Time for love advice, since "he's married so he knows this stuff right?"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean they couldn't recognize a wedding ring??? And neither did he???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And time was saying this in his youth I mean cmon
Tumblr media
Twilight: So ancestor. What would you do if like. Malon left to another world and never came back
Time: ... bro Malon called me fairy boy and then we were married like what
Hyrule: So uhh old man. How does one. Meet a girl.
Time: By speaking to her I guess? Or not, Malon did the talking for me
Hyrule: riiiiight...
Wild *no tact*: Hey so like... what if your redheaded wife who's name started with M died.
Time: what?!?!
Wild, undeterred: but like before she proposed.
Time: ...
Wild: and you don't remember if you would have said yes. What's your advice for dealing with that?
Time: ... vent to a fairy?
Warriors: hey old man
Time: no no no not this one asking me please
Warriors: how do I get women to stop coming after me. So I can ya know. Choose without war trying to force me into relationships
Time: I can safely say I've never had that problem captain
Wars: of course not *smirks*
Wars: ok but seriously how do I make them go away
Time: ... wear a wedding ring so they think you're taken, I've got a shiny extra
Time: no no why- they won't stop, I don't know how to do love!
Time: ok well at least I have legend. That kid would never ask for advice, I'll sit by him.
Legend: so old man.
Time, looking forward to a normal conversation: yeah?
Legend: hypothetically, what would you do if you found out Malon didn't exist.
Legend: And her whole world didn't, but it did, and now it doesn't
Time: ...Excuse me for a minute.
Time, writing a letter as fast as he can: MALON HOW DO I GIVE LOVE ADVICE THEY THINK IM WISE
Malon: lol
Happy Valentine's Day guys, have a headcanon :P
The boys go to Time for love advice and Time spouts whatever wise-sounding bs he can, before shoving them all on Malon for therapy when they visit the ranch

I get that you were following official artworks for that (and hoyo is a colorist company) but drawing sugilite that gray is racist...? Where is his color
i went back to check and saw that not only is the skintone off but the colors for the bathrobe and obsidian's hair are not what i remember using
most likely suspect is my past self rushing the drawing because of sleep deprivation (the proportions aren't the best either looking at it now)
they're not severe errors but i was cross checking on different screens and it was a lot more noticeable on my phone so you may have the same case

Lucifer: "!!! MY WHOLE LIFE IS YOURS CHAR-CHAR ASK ME ANYTHING! ANYTHING AT ALLL!!"
Charlie: "Its ah. It's about horns?"
Lucifer: "By golly yes I have those! They're not as big or bent as your mom's and the girth is way smaller on mine, but- My life is so horny! So much experience with the horniness!!!"
Charlie: "...."
Charlie: "Greeeeat dad. Good. Good wording choice right there."
Lucifer: "Isn't is so lovely we get to be horny together!?"
Charlie: (at vaggie) "I can't do this."
Vaggie: "We can't keep buying new beds either. It's this or cut back."
Charlie: "Cut back?"
Charlie: (at lucifer) "Dad- How did you handle, horns, when mixed with.... other... horniness?"
Lucifer: "Oh your mother's and mine didn't get tangled up too often!"
Charlie: "No not other HORNS! The. The other thing!"
Lucifer: "? I'm still banned from using airhorns-"
Vaggie: "Sex, sir. She means sex."

Charlie: "YES! Yes they are and no our bed is NOT!"

Charlie: "YAY-!"
Lucifer: "I didn't!!"
Charlie: "....."
Vaggie: "Sir.... with all due respect.. huh?"
Lucifer: "Well you see-"
(flashback to lilith lifting her short king and pinning him to the wall for smoches, then walking smugly away as lucifer stays hanging here with his horns stuck in the wall, dazed and dangling and grinning about it)
Lucifer: "-horns are so much FUN, aren't they? Such chaos, much thrill." (sighs wistfully) "I miss being horny with your mom, Char-Char... I miss it a lot..."
Lucifer: (pats charlie's elbow) "Anyway- You kids have fun with them!" (strolls off)
Charlie: "...."
Charlie: "... bad."
Vaggie: "Yeah." (sighs) "Need to faint into my arms, sweetie?"
Charlie: "No Vaggie, just this once just let me fall. I could really use the concussion and short term memory loss."
Vaggie: "It, it wasn't that bad-"
(THUD)
Vaggie: "Oh."

I feel like people have been warning about this and I completely ignored it. Deep sigh as I force myself to remember to add “-ai” at the end of every fucking search now
(Is there an extension that turns this off??)

(All 5 of the original Robins meeting thanks to the Flash family fucking with the timeless/multiverse again)
Jason (As Robin 2): Wait a fuckin' minute, I *die*!?
Tim (As Robin 3): Yes, that is correct.
Dick (As Robin 1): I'm still stuck on the fact that not only do I get fired, but four more Robins come after me. And that this eleven-year-old stalked both me and you for years!
Tim (R3): I'm 13, almost 14.
Steph (As Robin 4): I'm only around for a few months? Why?
Damian (As Robin 5): You initiated a protocol that Batman was meant to be around for without telling him. You then caused a gang war, Black Mask discovered your identity, he kidnapped you, tortured you, then assumedly killed you. Dr. Thompkins in actuality faked your death and after a while you returned. Then you started dating Drake.
Tim (R3): Is that part really important to mention?
Jason (R2): Yes, now, how the hell do I die, Replacement?
Tim (R3): Joker beats you with a crowbar then blows you up in a warehouse in Ethiopia.
Jason (R2): And... And B doesn't kill him?
Damian (R5): No. But Grayson does.
Dick (R1): I what now!?
Steph (R4): Don't worry, the B-Man brings him back to life shortly after.
Jason (R2): He does fuckin' WHAT!!??
