Hah, I think it may be partially because it is based on Ukrainian song Щедрик (Shchedryk) that is sung on 13th January for Old New Year, and Ukrainian traditional songs tend to sound like that, especially when performed in a traditional manner.
And that’s why it’s my favorite
This cutie is perfect for my collection of creatures who can be put in any fantasy story without audience having a clue they are real ♥️
HERE is the quoll!!!!
theyre adorable lil carnivores!!!!!!
Well, people on here are more likely to like a gay ship more. Plus, and this is a purely subjective opinion, but I do not like femRover's design, at all. She's just far too naked for me. The third point is less subjective, more speculative: I find it highly likely that Scar's actions just do not seem as aggressive when directed at a man. I can easily see how the same scenes with a female may be more unsettling for irl females than the opposite.
I love Scarover i just wish I saw art of female rover with scar as well. They are the same fucking person! Its Hsr all over again got damnit!
The right answer was actually "Odyssey is?!"

The Suicide Club, or the Adventures of a Titled Person, 1981 has this exact thing and the effect is just as good as described.
Concept: Sherlock Holmes adaptation with Watson providing film noir style voiceover narration, except it’s soon apparent that Watson is a somewhat less-than-reliable narrator.
Though the tone and content of Watson’s voiceover is broadly consistent with the original stories, when compared with the accompanying on-screen events it becomes clear that Watson-the-narrator is frequently, at the very least, delicately understating how things really went down, and occasionally lying through his teeth, particularly when the on-screen “truth” would make Holmes or himself look foolish.
While neither the version of events given by the narration nor the version of events concurrently depicted on screen are particularly comedic in themselves, the combined effect of juxtaposing the two is often outright farcical.
Read somewhere that for Aztecs it was considered dishonourable to be unable to take their enemies in alive (because then they couldn’t be sacrificed alive but besides the point). Would be nice if we could think of the inability of five trained people to take in one inebriated lunatic as their failure at their job, even without being a part of a bloodthirsty cult.
Got permanently banned from a subreddit for saying law enforcement shooting someone dead in the street was still a bad thing even when the victim was a violent right-wing fanatic.
Gotta say, I did not expect that to be such a controversial statement. So repeating it here: law enforcement shouldn't kill people. Even violent assholes have a right to be taken in alive, and it's a failure of practice and policy when someone is killed in the process of an arrest.
As a Ukrainian I feel this so much. Like, yeah, I sure am thankful that I am not under bombing anymore that my biggest worry is whether I should look for a temporary course at some university or would rather prefer some job, but the knowledge that I only get all of this so easily because I am white(ish, but whatever) and because my nation mostly is, and because we are in Europe and it's harder to wave away somebody in day's car travel from you, etc. etc.
Many of Ukrainians are bitter over NATO wringing its hands, German and French large companies not withdrawing from Russian market and so on, but for me personally the worst part was when I got in and out of the refugee camp within a day, while there were people there who stayed for a year - and quite possibly will for another (after all of what they can still be shipped back).
Valid point, and now that it has been made it's ridiculous to even consider thinking otherwise. It's also one of the most hilarious things about Madara I've ever read and each word is better than the last. It's hard to be thoughtful when you are doubled over with laughter.
So I have an issue with common fandom interpretations of Hashirama and Madara. (Not together, but it applies to Hashimada too) Whenever I see Hashirama in the context of a relationship or the bedroom, he’s always either superderp or supertop. Whenever I see Madara, he’s either the smoothest dude ever or just ultra dominant.
Let me tell you something.
Madara is the man who turned Hashirama into a meme because he’s so incapable of articulating himself that when he saw his old friend and enemy he just decided to scream “HASHIRAMAAA” at him. This is the guy who can’t pee if someone looks at him while he’s doing it. This dude somehow managed to fail to convince his own clan, who he was presumably the leader and most powerful member of, to leave Konoha and ended up getting booted out.
By his own clan.
He failed charisma checks to get Hokage even when his friend and the only Hokage to exist at that point wanted him to be Hokage, and he failed so badly not one Uchiha joined him when he stormed out.
He self destructed partly because he can’t figure out that children are kind of important to have, because he saw them as brats running around his ankles. We see him with no personal bonds other than his siblings (primarily the one brother he had during his time with Hashirama) and Hashirama, and while he does manipulate quite well, it’s with violence and controlling circumstances. When he gets to ramble he sounds like a crazy old man.
He literally could not convince his own best friend to see things his way and he was one of the ones who founded the village in the first place.
Meanwhile, Hashirama became Hokage, founded and grew a village, forged the first peace between the nations, and had a wife and children. He convinced thousands of people, even those who were his enemies, to see things his way. He swayed Sasuke at least some small amount.
He had presence. He demanded respect and admiration from those around him, and even slapped down Tobirama. We’re also shown him manipulating and generally messing with people socially, not by heavily traumatizing them into a broken mess and picking up the pieces.
My point is, almost certainly, the smooth frick of the pair is Hashirama. He might also be derp, he might or might not be super top, but Hashirama is the dude to look out for. One does not successfully create a (temporary but also lasting) peace and village structure out of chaos and war without being wily.
Madara, on the other hand, is savage, a little feral, and insanely laser focused. And ultimately ended up being manipulated by a plant, like every other Uchiha ever. So. Madara probably uses his chopsticks by gripping them with his fist, stabbing through the plate, and lighting anything on fire that refuses to be skewered.
His mating call is probably just to scream at the person he’s interested in.
I’m just saying.
There’s no indicator that he’s a smooth operator anywhere ever.
Ever.
The funny thing is I, personally, am definitely not that old. The same, however, cannot be said about the computers at my middle school 😋
Acceptance, cookies, bro love. What else one can wish for? Especially since at least one of them I can make come true without relaying on fate at all!
2021 looks bright!!!
Dracula!
Kiss or kill
