Uraeus before turning immortal, cheering up the First Guardian.

I know it's a bit confusing so I shall explain below the cut :)

Uraeus is an immortal hybrid shifter, meaning he can shift into two animals. Hybrids were new during his youth, though their chance of making it past infancy was below 1%. He was one of the rare babies, but he was ostrichsized from society because of his mixed blood. His mother was a King Cobra shifter and his father was a Boxer Jellyfish shifter.

Because he wasn't a full blood of either side, Uraeus had no control of the venom in his body. He became sick at at 12 in the midst of a march for hybrid rights. He had been bed-ridden until he was 17, when the First Guardian found him on his d3athbed.

She made him immortal using a ring, saw his potential and made him one of her four Protectors.

Since he can't take this ring off himself, Uraeus has been wandering around thousands of years after the First Guardians passing. The world knows him as the Living Fossil, as he is one of the two people who fought alongside the First Guardian.

A lesson that we can’t afford not to be taught.

Lilith redesign because she deserves it <3

She is the nanny of Madison, and basically an aunt to her, since she and Madison's mother were best friends long before the mother died.

She is human, but a huge ally to shifters and hybrids. She will do anything to help the Guardian, as long as there is common sense in her commands, of course.

Here are 2 old comic panels including her that won't be used any longer :p

Eh my style was okay back then, but I can do better lol

FUCK YOU DISNEY

Anyways, y’all better start saving your fave fanfics and fanart under the Disney labels cause it looks like they’re trying to curb fair use/fanworks and I’m sure there’s going to be mass panicked deletions even though it’s probably unnecessary cause AO3′s legal team will fight for us.

Can you do something for me, please?

I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship. 

Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another. 

Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it. 

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

Disney Has Reportedly Cuts All Ties With Scarlett Johansson

Who knows what future movies or projects were ruined.

Okay, I don’t know how true this is - but this is huge fucking news.

I’ve been saying this for a while now, but Disney, Amazon and co. are trying to return to the studio system of the old Hollywood days that got - rightly - discontinued in the 1960s. Those were the days when each studio owned their own cinemas that could only stream their movies, where they owned actors who could only play in their movies (unless hired out by others) - and that led to people like Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe etc. literally being owned by studios that fed them non stop pills and driven to overdose.

That’s the end point. That’s not the point we’re at now. But you’ll notice that in the last 3 or 4 years, every major production company now has a streaming platform. Much like up until the late 1960s in America, you can only see movies on company-owned platforms. This, with Johansson, is a huge step further - the largest production company in the world - who breached contract, not the other way around - are now essentially blacklisting Johansson from working with them for speaking out against them. Sure, this isn’t a blacklist on the level of the red and lavender scares - but if they can do this to Johansson, the biggest actor in the world, it sets a huge fucking precedent for blacklisting anybody who stands up for workers’ rights.

It also sees Disney - and other companies will follow suit, as they always do - moving a step closer to owning their stars. What Disney is trying to say is that Disney and Johansson are not equal partners in the contract, but that Disney has the ultimate say over everything. This idea that the contract is a formality is absolutely fucked, because it means that artists have no rights under the corporations, and if they want to continue to work they have to obey. Nobody is signing exclusive contracts yet, but you bet this is reverting to Judy Garland times. 

We are not going forwards. The movie industry is going backwards to the days of Louis B. Mayer (and it’s capitalism’s fault) and we all need to boost the fuck out of this. The courts will handle the Disney case - but we must support ScarJo (I say as very much a non ScarJo fan) and make sure that she continues to have a career after this, to set the precedent that audiences will not stand for future blacklisting.

Twitter going crazy over this one rn but have triangle dome too
