what reaction will a wolf predator have if his beloved is stolen?

Tw blood!!! Oh thank you anon, I was able to indulge in an AU I’ve thought about many times!

The Artisan is very well known on yautja prime and is well enough to be considered a “noble” in their society. Them being very knowledgeable on almost (if not all) Yautja dialects and even sign language! they have been commissioned as an artist to paint murals or even paint historical fights and battles many a times. So they are even considered a historian since they know a great deal about yautja history! Basically they can be considered GREAT intel to any military or intelligence branch to finally secure any information about yautja culture since it’s so heavily guarded 💀 which is why she was never allowed to leave prime technically! but let’s say she was allowed to visit a nearby planet and somehow was captured by earth oomans! What would Wolf do???

What any devoted yautja male would do, find and rescue their beloved mate of course! And they will go to great lengths to ensure their safe return. And will properly dispose of any threat that may have even touched their precious partner ❤️

Whenever I see the "there is no F/F content in fandoms, fandoms hate women" discussion on Tumblr, all I can think of is a phrase that is guaranteed to enrage half the Tumblr fandom audience, maybe more: "Have you tried imageboards?".

When I was younger, I used to frequent different anime and cartoon-themed imageboards. Big ones like 4Chan's /a/ and /co/, smaller ones meant for specific fandoms or kinks, non-English ones in my native language, you name it. The users were mostly straight men, and the F/F content and shipping flourished there. The "waifu threads" exclusively dedicated to gushing about female blorbos. The wast majority of kink content involving fictional women, either alone, with a nondescript self-insert man or with each other. The F/F fanart, fanfiction and ideas were just limitless, to the point where you would struggle to find one or two discussions about the guys in the midst of everyone celebrating the women.

The anime, cartoon or comic has a cast full of women? They will all get love. Women and men both? Women will generate much more discussion. One or two women amidst the cast full of men? People will mostly post about the two women, deal with it. Sure, there were designated boards and threads for the male characters, but good luck expecting there to be as much activity as there were in the waifu threads. The fandoms with lots of female characters, such as Touhou Project, thrived on these grounds, and much F/F shipping was had by everyone.

Now, of course, the imageboard culture is an entire separate beast. Right-leaning, edgy, bigoted - basically, what you get if you put a bunch of ostracized and lonely cishet male nerds in an echo chamber and let them feed each other bullshit all day long. A lot of the F/F art they made was sexual in nature, something that could be decried as sexualisation, but, the way I remember it, it was not much different from what is often done to male characters by straight women who ship M/M because they find the two dudes hot. A lot of gushing about waifus by the anonymous 4Chan dudes could be seen as misogynistic, despite the language being practically the same as when a Tumblr fandom girl is describing her blorboman and the things she wants to see done to him.

It all comes down to the the real life influencing the way we interact with fiction: male sexuality is viewed in a different light than female sexuality, despite both being more or less demonized in our society, just in different ways. Men are always predators, women are always victims. When a guy has sexual fantasies about a female character, he is a creep who wants to hurt real life women to enact these fantasies. When a woman has sexual fantasies about male characters, she cannot tell fiction from reality and is at risk of getting hurt by men while trying to enact these fantasies. And if either of them fantasizes about a same-sex couple, they are fetishizing queer people, obviously.

However, that's just how people roll - you cannot change what gender you are attracted to, and people with similar attractions stick together. It just so happens that the fandom side of Tumblr largely consists of straight women and queer men, so you get ships with guys, while the fandom side of 4Chan and the like largely consists of straight men, so you get ships with women. Both sides also happen to have cultures that don't mix well, and someone who frequents one place is likely to avoid the other.

I don't frequent 4Chan anymore, and I'm not big on fandom Tumblr, either, but Tumblr continues to be the unique place where I am more likely to stumble upon erotic fandom content featuring men than women, who are the majorly discussed and shipped characters practically everywhere else. I obviously do not excuse 4Chan's bigotry and rampant hateful bullshit, but my point still stands: if you want to see more F/F shipping and discussions of girl blorbos, but don't feel like making some yourself and creating a like-minded community on Tumblr, you should try your luck elsewhere on the Internet, especially when it comes to anime and cape comic fandoms. Tumblr is a unique place in terms of male-centric fandom content, and honestly, it's not that bad, if Tumblr isn't the only place you find your stuff at. It simply occupies a specific niche and doesn't offer much of everything else (though you can still find it if you look).

--

Now, be fair: plenty of imageboards are full of nominally straight guys who love millions of female blorbos... and art of Link getting wrecked.

Have you had any thoughts on hybrid versions of the one piece characters? I love seeing what animals people associate with the characters 😅. Also ears and tails are cute

Hybrid Au, my beloved!!! owo I tend to go heavier with the animal research/xeno than just "ears and tails", but yes, I absolutely have thoughts— here's a handful of my favorites/who comes to mind!

. . .

Kaidou — Auroch bull: The now-extinct relative of modern cattle, closely related to Spanish fighting bulls. Bull feels fitting for Kaidou, I think— they're huge, potentially dangerous animals that get screwed over in blood sports or as slaughterhouse bait, and near-universally seen as aggressive because of instincts that are based in self-preservation or protecting a herd. And of course, ending up as a bull hybrid is just what happens to my favs, by now... (@senjuushi)

Judge — Tawny eagle: His "Garuda" theme implies a bird of prey from the start, so it's an easy pick! Described as "opportunistic", with a habit of feeding on carrion (and stealing other animals' prey), yet still "a bold and active predator", tawny eagles fit well with Judge's vibe of regal, pompous, and trying way too hard. They also tend to mate for life... and male birds are known for flashy courtship habits. Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji would be the same species for this Au.

Sanji — Mourning dove: Keeping with the bird theme of his family, but a far less bloodthirsty species. Mourning doves are fluffy, vocal birds that are known for being "prolific breeders". They can be territorial between males, but are also social pair-bonders. Sora would have been a dove too, and Sanji sharing her species is just one more sign that the modifications failed. There's also something very fitting about a "caged bird" theme for his experiences with Germa.

Spandam — Giant panda: Useless animal that would be extinct by now without human intervention. Clumsy, pathetic, and admittedly pretty cute, but not good for much other than existing under careful supervision in a zoo. Of course, Spandam's terrible personality ruins most of the cuteness effect his hybrid species might have— ultimately, he's a needy, spoiled idiot who's eternally dependent on the care of others. And personally, I think he should have a cute, sensitive little stubby tail, perfect to yank on when he's being a brat.

Katakuri — Grizzly bear: Linlin is a grizzly hybrid as well, and the shared species adds to Katakuri's reputation as her "perfect" son. He's huge, powerful, and highly threatening... but would be just as content to gorge himself on snacks and all but hibernate afterward. If it wasn't for his self-imposed standard of perfection, that is. His fucked-up mouth seems even worse on a large predator species, too, which definitely adds to his complex/self-consciousness over it.

Perospero — Red fox: I saw a fanart of him as a fox hybrid on Pixiv, and it convinced me. A smug, sneaky bastard who takes after his mother's carnivore tendencies, but with far less of an intimidation factor to back it up. Annoyingly talkative and far more socially oriented than he wants to admit, as well as capable of being an absolute nuisance when he wants to— all of that sounds very fitting for Peros, I think. And fox whining noises fit his crybaby side.

Cracker — Bushy-tailed woodrat: Prey animals that are described as "vocal and boisterous", and nuisances for "creating general noisy havoc"— seems appropriate for Cracker, an overconfident brat who's far less tough than he acts. Packrats (the overall category) are nest-builders, too, which fits with how he spends so much time hiding in his biscuit soldiers to avoid direct combat. Woodrats also apparently have a foot-thumping tendency; a good match for his clapping!

Pudding — British longhair cat: Babygirl-looking murder machine seems highly appropriate. British longhairs have the sweetest little faces and soft coats, but cats are nature's finest serial killers at their core. Pudding would be perfect as a needy, jealousy-prone kitty who's way too good at playing up the cutesy kitten act to get on people's good sides— right up until a tsundere moment kicks in. Then, she's all puffed-up, twitching tail and poorly stifled purring.

Caesar — Axolotl: Like his pet poison slime thing! Axolotls are apparently "used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate limbs, gills, and parts of their eyes and brains", which feels fitting for Caesar, as does the fact that they're tricky to take care of as pets (and keep getting put in cages by people who don't treat them well, at that). Also, those feathery external gills are cute!!

Queen — American alligator: Lethal fat fuck of a reptile, exactly how Queen should be! Alligators can be lazy and kind of goofy-looking, but they're still dangerous and very strong. The huge, thick tail is also an obvious plus (the "Brachio-Snakeus" trick haunts me). And really, can't you see him sprawled out all lazy, for gator-style sunbathing?

Drake — Rottweiler/Border Collie mix: A strong, intelligent, capable, and work-oriented animal, that would (as a dog-experienced friend put it), "tear a house down to the foundation" if left without enough to occupy it. Drake gives me "beaten dog" vibes, in general, and it feels fitting that his hybrid species could easily have been sweet, if not for the trauma and DEEP psychological issues.

Law — Shorthaired silver tabby: Law is so very catboy-coded. He's a grumpy, fussy kitty who will both claw your arm open if you try to touch him, and could just as easily be reduced to a purring puddle if his guard gets torn down enough to allow it. Cats are highly effective agents of violence (and can be total bastards, when they want to), but also absolute babies. And imagine tiny, angry catboy Law getting scruffed by Rocinante to prevent the aforementioned clawing.

Hello! I just want to say that I adore your death wolf fanart. I'd like to ask a question, if you don't mind. If the incarnation of death is a wolf in the Shrekverse, what would the incarnation of life be? A sheep? A rabbit? Something else? What is your opinion? Thank you again for the wonderful art!

Hello! Interesting question.. I'll even try to give a few concepts. In my view, Life is actually not much different from the image of the Wolf. In the sense that it will clearly not be someone "small and fluffy." Because Life, like Death, is not an absolutely positive or negative phenomenon. She even knows how to show her teeth (or claws) and able to both give and take away. It is clear that the same rabbits can be cruel and dangerous, but they don't work as an image. The first one that came to mind was Bear (not Goldie's mother). For the reason that these animals are extremely fiercely protecting their cubs, even if the potential threat is not a threat as such. Plus her omnivorous and craving for collecting plants, berries, mushrooms. In other words, the one who uses natural resources to the maximum before periods of hunger strike.

Next Lynx. A representative of the cat family, but having the habits of a canine. Also, like the bear, the natural rival of the wolf.

The female wolf is probably the most banal example. But I can't get out of my head Raksha Satan from The Jungle book. Who fearlessly threatened a huge tiger to protect not only her wolf cubs, but also a child of another species. Could be a symbol of life for the Wolf himself, as a member of his own species, if you know what I mean х)) This lady will definitely be of a much more dangerous nature.

The African wild dog. Representative of the canine family that lives in the south. These dogs are known for their survivability, and in terms of obtaining food, they are more successful than lions. They are also able to cooperate with other predators, such as coyotes or hyenas, that is, they are social. Which also plays as the opposite of Lone Wolf.

Stork. Trite from the theme of storks that bring children in their beaks. Specifically, the black stork is a bird listed in the Red Book. There is a legend that this is a white stork, darkened with grief, as people turn gray from suffering. "Past troubles and trials have changed not only the color of the birds, but also their character - their soul is overshadowed by sadness." Perhaps a slight reference to the Egyptian god Thoth, as he does look a little similar in appearance.

And finally, the snowy owl, like a silent and imperceptible eye that watches from above. But I was already too lazy to draw it, sorry х)

Nevertheless, if we proceed from the early sketches of the Wolf himself, who grazes and guards the lambs for their transition to the next step (as an option, as souls for the transition to the mortal world), then there is no need for the embodiment of Life. Simply because the Wolf, with all his evil and bloodthirsty appearance, controls both sides, like a neutral judge.

Thank you very much for your question! It was a pleasure to create their concepts. Even if they didn't quite go to Shrekverse in the end, he-he х) The African dog especially in my soul x) Perhaps later, their sketches will be more completed, as now I was trying not to delay too much with the answer.

[FAKEMON | FANART(?)] Flossbyte

arceus' silliest & fluffiest soldier

ramble time! here's an info i made up 'bout these guys: flossbytes are well-known due to its caring and friendly nature. very great 'round kids too! they are often seen in amusement parks, (mostly because i like to think there's a cotton candy shop where they have a flossbyte as their mascot lol) and in bakeries or factories where sweet foods are manufactured since they really, really love desserts and all things sweets not only that, but they taste and smell exactly you think a cotton candy would. flossbytes have an ability where it can shed bits of their tail to feed random pokemon nearby. it can also drop their entire tail off to distract predators. flossbytes also regenerate lost parts of their body that have been ripped or bit off, but the speed they can regenerate them depends on how much of their fluff has been lost, and if they are actively eating/recently ate anything sweet which also speeds up the healing process they'd probably have sweet scent or mold breaker as their abilities, with their hidden ability being unburden

also drew the goober again after making the fake evo of swirlix cuz it's so silly and cute i want to crush it so bad

two rain world fan lizards! you can make fanart and/or ocs

LATERIX LIZARDS:

"Acutiserratusdens lacerta"

Sharp Jagged Tooth Lizard.

Description:

These fast, and swift modified lizards often scavenge in search of already dead food, whether that ranges from a small slugcat, or a large Sail Lizard. They are nimble in the air and agile on land, using their 1.5 meter long wingspan for quick travel across the skies. Though rare, these lizards have been observed to hunt for food. Specifically, smaller, weaker creatures that are easy to dispatch with their long snout and teeth. They often do this in a period of temporary shortage of carcasses/food, and so resulting in messy mobs to take form and tear flesh right off the bones of their prey.

Appearance:

These reptiles feature a body plan with striking resembelance to Pterasaurids. Specifically, from the group Rhamphorhynchidae. They feature long, slender snouts with sharp teeth. Paired with the teeth's being procumbent (pointed forward), it was built for ripping flesh off bones. They sport a long tail, used for steering it's flight and when sprinting. The Laterix lizard features a wing which was formed by a thin layer of skin, muscle, and other tissues stretching from the ankles to a dramatically lengthened third finger. This left only two fingers left for stability on ground. Unlike most lizards, these small scavengers have a dull yet diverse coloration, ranging from pale indigo to cream-colored scales.

Laternix Lizards are fast opportunistic scavengers with the ability of powered flight. They feature the wall and pole climbing abilities of a Blue/White Lizard.

Laternix Lizards have a 20% letharity rate.

TL;DR: They're fast, nimble opportunistic lizards which it's wings supported powered-flight in order to find prey.

SAIL LIZARDS

"Mareregem lacerta"

Sea king Lizard.

Description:

Sail Lizards are large lizards built for an aquatic lifestyle. Although their giant size, these bulky creatures can rival the speeds of a Jetfish when using full force. They are known as ambush predators, locating their prey before launching themselves towards it at high speeds and head-butting it. The said action would hopefully kill smaller prey and disorient larger ones and leave time for the Sail Lizards to dispatch their prey with their powerful jaws. Despite their looks, these lizards are intellegent and sometimes even malicious, killing or injuring other creatures for the sake of entertainement. In addition, their intellegence has led to numerous cases of iterator legs being minorly damaged due to them gnawing and head-butting repeatedly. This shows a sense of curiousity, as they were observed to stare at iterator legs for an extended period before engaging in physical analogies. This curiosity also affects fauna and flora, as young adolescents often playfully nudge other creatures.

Despite their aquatic lifestyle, they have not adapted to breathe underwater, instead relying on holding their breath in their spleens and taking intakes of oxygen up in the surface. This leads them quite vunerable to attacks from other Sail Lizards, which is quite common given their territorial nature.

Appearance:

The Sail Lizards bare resembelance to Earth's Liopleurodon, an extinct genus of short-necked Pliosaurs. Their bodies served upwards of 18.6 feet (5.66 m) long. Their main bodies feature a slope on the spine, and are primarily bulky. It's tail featured a few pink spine extensions as a fragment that has not been removed by it's creators. They, additionally, feature frills at the sides of their heads, similar to those from Salamanders. Their heads feature an aerodynamic shape, allowing them to swim with quite ease.
