which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?
Are you guys aware of chimney swifts??
They’re in the same order as hummingbirds and, in some positions, you can see the resemblance
But like… a hummingbird that’s cosplaying as a falcon.
Sleek. Efficient. Aerodynamic. Perfectly optimized.
Also they like to sleep in chimneys, hence the name, and when they perch they become very very flat
They also like to sleep in groups
Anyway 10/10 weird little beast. Love these little flat fuck hummingbird falcons

More. Gdangit. More Laika movies.
REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S FIRST FILM SOLELY PRODUCED BY THEIR STUDIO HAD TWO FEMALE CHARACTERS AS THEIR ANTAGONIST AND PROTAGONIST WHO, BY SOME FORM OF DEVIL MAGIC, HAVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FACES
REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S SECOND FILM NOT ONLY CONSISTED OF A CAST WITH FOUR CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS BUT INCLUDED AN ENTIRE TOWN OF DIVERSE CITIZENS OF VARYING RACE, GENDER, AND AGE. LIKE A NORMAL TOWN HAS.
REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S THIRD FILM FEATURED SAME SEX COUPLES IN THEIR TEASER TRAILER
REMINDER THAT THIS IS ALL STOP-MOTION SO EVERY CHARACTER WAS DESIGNED, MODELED, SCULPTED, RIGGED, AND EVEN HAD TINY CLOTHES SEWED FOR THEM.
also reminder that they make chump change compared to disney who whines and cries that in all their years of experience they can’t handle the prospect of animating a girl with a face different than the rest and that it’s “too hard” because only females can express such a wide range of emotions that it makes them difficult to animate
if a studio with 20-30 years of experience can manage this then SURELY an established studio with NEAR 100 YEARS of experience can maybe, just maybe, include a female that ISN’T a part of their formula
Actually going further down this rabbit hole, some Christian researchers are actually finding pottery and stuff that has dinosaurs and dragons on it. Keep in mind that these artifacts are made about a few thousand years ago. NOT millions of years ago. It's on forbidden history site somewhere, and they think that dinosaurs and dragons are still out there and may still exist. Or maybe there's VERY few still? Not sure. They are also trying to disprove evolution in some ways, which sometimes makes sense, but I don't think there's any way to prove or disprove it, as it is something that can't be seen instantly. Rather, a large chunk of time, but that's another story for later.
I love Dinosaur art across history, because if you have a basic idea of what Dinosaur skeletons look like, you can tell exactly where the errors of the past were made.
I also really like it because you get to see people’s mindset change regarding things like Dinosaurs,
from “Here Be Dragons” fanciful monsters more likely to be seen on treasure maps. Where you can actually see how long necks of dinosaurs were mistaken for snake-like tails.
To big, fleshy, monstrous creatures that look more like a mix of Godzilla and a plastic toy. Full of scales and teeth with clear inspiration taken from Iguanas and Gila Monsters.
To the muscular, more believable creatures, but that now resemble plucked chickens if you look at them. Still full of wonder, but only because they are now a BELIEVABLE fantasy.
To the modern understanding of Dinosaur and other prehistoric animals. Which now, thanks to scientific studies I don’t even begin to understand, we have dinosaurs which resemble “reality” SO MUCH in posture, texture and colour, that they have almost completely lost any “mystique” to them as these “ancient dinosaurs” and we can see them exactly for what they were; animals.
me at any given time: can we just buckle down and focus on the task at hand please???

I'm grateful to have gone to a college that requires honorifics in class bc otherwise I'd probably assume like most that "Mx. [surname]" is the only nonbinary option. I personally hate the tendency to put x in every gendered term and call it nonbinary so here are some other honorifics (but certainly not the only ones) I've seen nonbinary people use. For the sake of simplicity let's say the surname is Jackson.
Ind. Jackson- honestly this one kind of fucks. Ind stands for individual, and it gets bonus points for being the nearest equivalent to literally just referring to yourself as comrade.
Misc. Jackson- this one is ok, runs the risk of being pronounced like Miss. Honestly a little too on the nose for my taste. Also not really sure what it's saying? Miscellaneous? It seems odd with my name so I personally stay away but go for it if it sounds neat.
M. Jackson- *chef's kiss* mwa. This is the one I use. It's classy, it's elegant, and I personally like how you have to form your mouth in an entirely different way than Ms. or Mr. It forces people to make more of an effort to learn it, in my experience. They can't really play it off easily when they misgender you. However M. is also used shorthand in some languages for gendered honorifics (ie. Monsieur is M. in French) so if you're not comfy with that association this might not be your best choice
Anyways! tldr: honorifics are important for nonbinary people to have for formal environments, but Mx. isn't your only option. If anyone has more they use hmu in the notes bc I'm really curious what yall use.
I fucking hate James Tissot’s paintings because in ALL OF THEM there is ALWAYS someone staring right at you, but it’s not always immediately visible. You just feel watched by this mf. Sometimes the little shit is right there at the centre, but others the bastard is just gazing from the distance, it is CREEPY, my guys
Hello i'm a normal person here's some stuff i drew to illustrate different traits different "person getting controlled" tropes can have
