It's apparently feminism day? More so than usual.

Cheer me up meme....

[(Anonymous)]

I just finish watching ALLLLL of the episodes of Crossing Jordan on Netflix.... I'm so sad now. Okay it's not that great of a show (sometimes they indulged their silly side to much, and Jordan has mommy and daddy issues out the wazoo and gets far to dangerous to herself and others when she gets obsessed with something and Woody is a total asshole when it comes to mental health issues and Lily's storyline got weird in the end ... but other than that it hit all my competence kinks and all my "team as family" kinks and hell even in the last episode when they were stuck on a mountain top with little hope of rescue they spent their time solving the damn case that caused them to be stuck up there .... And now it's over...Pathetic anon is pathetic....

Write what happens next!!!!! Maybe that will cheer you up.

For today: Aardvarks, Donkeys, Tapirs, Birds and some Bonuses. Also spider!

Hullo! There are two parts to this post. The first comes today, the next tomorrow. The request was for things that were so ugly they're adorable- I'm sort of trying to get at that, or posting animals that are definitely not regarded by most people as cute. Maybe some of them will be to you? Maybe some won't- either way, it's worth a shot! I'll be giving a picture of the adult animals and the baby ones. Do check both of them out- especially for the birds!

AARDVARKS

source

DONKEYS


source

These are Baudet du Poitous! They really are meant to look like that, yes.


source


source

TAPIRS

The adults look like... well, 'odd' is one way of putting it. I've always seen the babies as little watermelon things with faces and paws, though!

NEWBORN DINOSAURS BABY BIRDS


source

From the source: Three Black Palm Cockatoos siblings, a 3-months old, left, 2-months old, right, and 23-days old are displayed to the media at the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore on Dec. 20, 2010. Black Palm Cockatoos are being bred as part of the Bird Parks on-going birdlife conservation program and it is the first time the park has hatched 3 birds in consecutive months.

This is what they'll look like when they're fully grown!


source

It's a Kea parrot chick! That has sadly been described as being a cross between an alien and a roast chicken. Trust me, this is not the ugliest picture of it there was. There is uglier.

On the other hand, what it grows up to be... well, check it out!


source

Now this tiny pgymy falcon isn't much to look at, and it doesn't really grow up large, either. But when it does, it's definitely incredibly adorable! One of the cutest birds of prey there is.

BONUS ALPACA FASHION DISASTERS

Alpacas are actually pretty cute normally, but these guys...



And of course...
















Spider!



This guy is absolutely for real. It's scientific name is Ephebopus cyanognathus, but more commonly goes by the much cooler title of Blue Fang Skeleton Tarantula. Why Blue Fang? Well, that's because when it grows up, it lookslike this-



Unlike many other spiders, they really like to burrow and don't go up in trees at all. This makes them less impressive as pets- sure, they look cool! But they're shy things, and more often than not will be hiding inside their little dirt homes that they've built for themselves.

Also- I know there are people who read this who might be scared of spiders. This post, and this comment in particular might be good reading if you're looking to find out more or maybe figure out how you could be more comfortable around them! It's got cute pictures and video links as well, and isn't very long to read. Do give it a go. (:

Oooh and have wombats come up yet? I'd like to see them here someday. Maybe even a series on marsupials because marsupials are cool like that. :D

Ha hahhhh I forgot that was today. I'll just pretend these I was baking brownies for a special occasion. Or maybe I was all along, subconsciously. Idc.

About the het vs. slash vs. femmeslash vs. gen thing

[(Anonymous)]

So I've noticed that in some fandoms a lot of fandoms, there's a bit of tension between gen fans versus people who prefer romance fic, and that second group is further divided into het vs. slash, and the slashers are even further divided into guy-slash vs. lady-slash... and I really don't get it. This whole thing seems to me like shipping wars taken to a different level, but it seems that the people who'll argue about this stuff are generally also the same people who think shipping wars are stupid.

And now I am wondering two things:
1) Is it weird that I find this confusing and kind of hypocritical, or am I missing something?
2) Are there any other fans who'll read pretty much anything as long as it's got a good plot, or is it just me? :(

Re: About the het vs. slash vs. femmeslash vs. gen thing

[(Anonymous)]

For me it's about time. Guy on guy slash is my preferred genre, and if given the choice between all of them with just half an hour to read a fic in, I'm going to choose my preference obvs. It doesn't mean I'm unwilling to read others, just that I have preferences and and a non-infinite amount of time.

Re: About the het vs. slash vs. femmeslash vs. gen thing

[(Anonymous)]

Regarding 2 - that's where I'm at now - though technically that's only because I'm mostly skimming over the sex because sex does nothing for me. But yes, if the plot is a good one (and the characters are mostly in-character) I will read pretty much anything. There just needs to be a larger amount of plot than sex.

Re: About the het vs. slash vs. femmeslash vs. gen thing

[(Anonymous)]

I think the fighting is stupid, but everyone has their preferences and there's nothing wrong with that. I'll read fic as long as it's good too, but sometimes I'm in the mood for a specific type of fic, and will go looking for, say, lesbian sexytimes only.

Re: About the het vs. slash vs. femmeslash vs. gen thing

[(Anonymous)]

1) Yeah, kinda. I hate it when people fight over things like this, it's a great way to make me get real sick of the fandom real fast.
2) Nope! I like that too.

Re: About the het vs. slash vs. femmeslash vs. gen thing

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if you're like that, but this post reminds me of the attitude that you have to personally like something in order to be a decent human being about other people liking it, and no. I like some things a lot better than other things, but we're all pretty cool people and a ship, or a gender preference for ships, is just that.

My main draw to stuff is reading the kind of romance fandom writes, so. I'll read gen if it's got something else that appeals to me, but I feel like a lot of it is just standard fic minus the romance, which isn't my thing. I also dislike het unless the couple has one of the few het dynamics I like, or the story's got something else that's good. Unless people are actually being homophobic or misogynist, I think it's pretty stupid to fight about.

Re: About the het vs. slash vs. femmeslash vs. gen thing

[ooh_mrdarcy]

1) Welcome to most fandoms.
2) I read pretty much anything, gen or romance, slash or no. Good writing needs no excuses.

welp

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the "welp" anon from yesterday, and I just wanted to tell everyone here that your concern and advice really did help. I got through the night fine. I still miss my friend, and I can't stop replaying those words in my head and it hurts, hearing that girl who was always so sweet and wonderful saying something so cruel to me. It hurts so much, and to be honest, I still kind of want to die. My mood is slipping all over the place, and I'm scared. but ughh the main point of this comment was to say thanks for all the kindness and concern

Spiderman reboot question

[(Anonymous)]

We were wondering this morning after seeing a trailer on TV:

What is the age cut-off for not really caring/remembering about the Sam Raimi spiderman movies? Because if you liked those, trailers for the new one look *exactly the same* in so many ways, even the swooping through the skyscrapers shots. It's not like Batman Begins, starting somewhere new, at least not in a way anyone who isn't already a spiderman nerd would know about.
As a casual movie-goer over the age of 20, I honestly don't get why the general public is going to see this movie.

So, any younger fans who don't have have this feeling?

ps - I know nothing about comics and this is going off of trailers alone, if it wasn't obvious

Let us take a moment to mourn...

... the loss of embed.

Goodbye, ten hours of Darth Vader's breathing.

Goodbye, Toxic by Britney Spears featuring Nigel Thornberry.

Goodbye, goodbye, you are missed.

Any chance of the anon/rec/friending memes making an appearance now that FS is on Dreamwidth? I suck at picture secrets and what not. :(
