Whats your favorite under-appreciated animal?

It's just gotta be stoats/ermines man, they're such noodle creatures and I love their mechanical noises.

Just look at him!! A noodle!!

Well, that went down like a lead balloon.

I was watching a lot of Prime Soundwave clips lately, namely the ones where he uses his data cables, and the thing that stands out to me the most is how they’re So incredibly snake-like, even in sound design! The best instance was the scene where he was rescuing Laserbeak and turned back to pick up a piece he missed, and the pure silence of the scene with only the eerie wind and the near silent hissing/slithering noises of the cables (especially the way they moved) was just super snake-like that I figured it’d be very cool if in a human setting he’d have snakes for his cables! Do all the decepticons get jump scared when they notice the little snakes? Maybe (yes but I doubt Shockwave did), but Soundwave never pays them any mind. Maybe he could secretly record all the reactions for himself and makes little compilations. (Starscream will hate to ever admit how startled he got) I also think Prime Soundwave’s former higher status before he stepped down, he probably has quite the good fits still

Also just the line art/sketch here cuz I really cooked I think. Maybe Predaking would love the snakes

I'm sorry... snake paper? Are things heating up in the snake researcher fandom?

16 February 2024: A team of researchers (including a generally well-respected anaconda expert) found minimal and partly contradictory genetic differences in green anacondas over an enormous area, summarily dismissed all previous work on the taxonomy of green anacondas, and gave the mitochondrial lineage concerned a new name, along the way making some huge fumbles that show plainly that they have no idea how taxonomy works or what certain technical terms mean. They published the work in a journal from a suspect publishing house that is known to rush, skip, or ignore peer review as and when it suits them. And apparently there was some suspicious funding involved, though I don’t know much about that. They made a media storm with ‘a new anaconda!’ but within minutes there were people raising huge red flags about the paper, for the reasons enumerated above and others.

The response from ‘the community’ has been swift and harsh, but mostly fair, in my view. The discussion on ResearchGate reflects this pretty well. There are some bad takes about keeping ‘wokism’ out of science; I would argue that it remains critical to incorporate native peoples, knowledge, and languages into taxonomic work—just not the way this was done, in flagrant and intentional conflict with the established methods and protocols. There are also responses in the discussion by the lead author that show that he is evidently impervious to all of this criticism, and stands by the belief that the work and taxonomic reasoning is sound.

19 March 2024: two papers were published simultaneously in Bionomia, that both enumerate and rebut the problems of the original paper. And I know there are more on the way, though I don’t know if they are all going to be completed now that two responses have already been published.

The one thing I would weigh in on from my perspective is that it is the *taxonomy*, and not necessarily the evidence presented in the paper, that is the biggest problem. Species are described based on mitochondrial data alone all the time. Some of the results are quite interesting. But the taxonomy of the paper is a mess, full of contradictions, cherry-picking, and terminological errors. In the hands of competent taxonomists, the work might have been much more difficult to dispute. But also, no competent taxonomist would have assigned a new name to this lineage; there are too many existing names that would have priority, if it is worth recognising.

Undoing public perception of there being a new anaconda species will take years, if it can ever really be achieved. Always easier for media stories to go around than corrections.

TL;DR big snake paper made big mistakes, and within a month was dismissed. It has probably done lasting damage to perception of anaconda diversity.

okay so i've thought of this for a bit AND HEAR ME OUT. gorgons. the ones with the snakes for hair, i think it'd be so cute if the snakes had their own affection for you! always so gleeful to see you around as well as their host. but it also makes me think that maybe their partner would have to be blind? dunno! i hand this information over to you ty :)

In a world where monster and human relationships have become more and more common, there have been new inventions to help human and non human partners mingle without damage to their little human mate.

One of these is sunglasses that allow you to look at your gorgon boyfriend without being turned to stone, and eventually they’re made into a contacts option as well!

You’re always getting little treats for his snakes. Frozen mice, quail eggs, frogs, just little animals and eggs for them to snack on.

They’re very fond of you, giving you little nuzzles and kisses when he’s making love to you.

They’re so protective of you too, hissing and wrapping around you if someone gets too close or talks to you rudely. Depending on how long he keeps his “hair” they could pretty much wrap around you completely.

They also have a habit of lapping at your pussy or shoving their way into your cunt while he’s eating you out. He loves you and lusts after you, and so do they! Feeling them wriggle around inside of you has you cumming like crazy!

And when he fucks into you, they latch onto your nipples or try their best to get inside of your mouth~

I wonder how Vanitas would get along with snakes.

Swimmingly, he is one himself, after all..

[omens-for-ophelia]

Art prompts?

Tiny snek Crowley? Rest is dealers choice.

:3

(I request that of everyone in the GO fandom who asks for prompts because I strongly feel that we've been robbed in the Edinburgh minisode and I need to see it more)

there's nothing better than a good morning kiss after a nice warm snooze in the pocket of your husband's housecoat 🩷

you're so right, we deserve more tiny snake crowley content! thank you sm for this request ✨🩷

dedicated sketch page for Sniper Wolf

I’m sure when she speaks of Saladin to Snake in her last moments, she is likely referring to Big Boss himself. Not necessarily Venom, maybe, he wasn’t an existing character at that point Lol. but in my silly fantasy world I like to imagine it was Venom who rescued her, and had her trained to be a sniper in memory of Quiet…. Becos…. Becauz it’s along the same time period… yeah definitely

Close ups v v v

this is how people are about jrwi viv and vex

And I'm setting Holly loose on Valaria she deserves to wreck some shit

Ooo used as bait would be so good with those three. Sounds fun 👀

And Holly would have an absolute blast causing havoc XD

I decided to be brave and share my fan translations of Leona, Malleus, and Jamil's songs that I've translated out. Keep in mind that these are NOT perfect, but I tried my best. With Jamil's I did try to match his rhythmic way of speaking in English, so the lyrics can be sung along to the melody. I'm a bit nervous, but uh... yeah...

I may do Riddle, Azul, Vil, and Idia's later, but I'm taking a break. I hope they're enjoyed!

Still Infallible, Until Tangible -LEONA: 

Beyond the closing door

I can hear a cheerful song

A swaying voice so far away

Even though the shadows have scattered

I circle across the night 

The yearning for more never tiring

Even my pride is a shield

The light’s disappearing,

The world’s unchanging

Still the color is infallible

No matter how many times this hand

Is extended, even if I try

This hand has always 

Held emptiness

If that’s so, then turn it all to sand

蛇と瞬き-JAMIL: 

Jewels and magic cannot

Fulfill the wishes in me

Knowing no end

To days filled with misery.

Gasping as I just try to breathe

Desires creeping out, trying to leave

The more that I desire, 

The more narrow this place is

The light will never fade in me

My anger will never cease to be

If only I could expose it all

Ah ah ah! 

A shadow is dancing

Listen to the insatiable voice

Freedom’s in my hand, 

Like I’m cursing and

To the end I’ll FLY-yah-yah

Ah ah… Not enough to get by-ah-ah

The Snake and Blink

祝福-MALLEUS:

Until my reign! 

In an unscratched box garden, 

Countless voices cry,

Playing out

The song of prayer 

That you wrote 

Is the time something that passes? 

Is it something that fades away? 

I just want to

Play a little more

AH!

A beautiful life for you, 

The fleeting life that knows not my protection

Even if it’s all illusions, 

Or even just your recollections, 

Come now, have as much as you want,

Just be happy

[benevolenterrancy]
