The deep winter is the domain of thr White Lions from the snowy mountains of Aveyon in the Lyra system. They perfectly adapted to the harsh climate.

And so it goes
the Chronicler: With the gods present they created realms, new Gods lesser in power but filled with diverse ambitions. Making their own creations. Of the newer gods only the first four, the Prime Progenies had their own realms.
The Realms were many and with the Existence of diverse gods, Conflict brewed, and the Hearts of mortal kind created were slowly fueled by it. The Goddess of War, Matron of Elf kind, lead the fuelling of this wave.
Be it the greed and hubris of the Demon kind daring to believe they are superior to the Perennial Dragons. Being delivered back with the wrath of Dragon flame, which burned away unlike the hellish flames.
Or the Prideful Arrogance of Kings of the Mhoradar, the Ancestors of Mankind believing that with their strengths and magikal powers, they could be gods.
Even the Simple battles of the Icy tundra dwellers and the Ferocious Kings of Savannahs, fighting for resources and tests of strength.
Most vile were conflicts where the Goddess forced them to happen. For Faerealm fell into an age of war, where Elf fought Alf, Sister fought Brother. The grass was painted in the colors of blood.
But it was not fuel for the Goddess of war, Blood is fuel for Chaos. And The Chaos god reveled in the happenings.

As much as we Americans give guff (and rightfully so) to Europeans for being so weird about nature, let's not forget that Americans are super not immune to it either.
Americans insist constantly that coyotes are going to attack children (your child is exponentially more likely to be seriously injured by their own dog) or that coyotes lure dogs to their deaths by leading them into the waiting pack (your stupid idiot dog with no recall chased a pack of coyotes that fought back and suddenly the coyotes are at fault here?)
But the one that drove me insane the most was the guy who shot the first opossum to be documented this far north in hundreds of years because he was afraid that a 3 pound opossum was going to kill his dog.
It's barely bigger than a guinea pig I promise you it's not going to eat your fucking husky you brain dead idiot loser. Stop being such a mindless coward.

i respect people with boring fursonas so much. i think there is a lot of unspoken and even unintended pressure to design a character that sticks out like an anime protagonist in school, that you have to make it somehow marketable or widely recognizable. here's to all the people who just have. grey wolf.

I want to be excited for the live action Little Mermaid so badly
The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie. Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with mermaids as a whole and will watch any media that has them. Hell, I own my own tails and monofins. But every time I see a gif or a video for the new Little Mermaid, I cringe
(btw, this is NOT because of the casting. If you're against this movie because Ariel is black, you're a racist piece of shit and this post isn't for you)
My issue lies with the CGI. It just looks so FAKE. We've seen through the course of movies and TV shows that use it that CGI does not age well, and that's because technology is constantly improving. What was impressive in 2005 is not impressive in 2023 (Just look at Aquamarine, another movie about mermaids). And the CGI on Ariel and her sisters already looks fake and the movie isn't even out yet!
Compare this image from the trailer
To this screenshot from H20: Just Add Water (a TV show that came out in 2006):
You can see the details of the scales in the second image
The first image is flat. Sure, it's colorful, but it's flat. It's fake. Halle herself is the most beautiful and alive part of the image, because everything else is fake
The difference?
H20 had costume designers, ones specifically trained in mermaid tail making, HAND CRAFT every tail on the show. All of the scales were hand laid, all the tails molded to fit the actors/actresses perfectly, painted by hand
Let's even look at someone with no affiliation to TV or movies:
This is Mermaid Linden, a very well known (in the mermaid community) professional mermaid. You can tell her tail is not as high quality as the ones made for H20 (though it's still a VERY expensive tail) - but it still looks like it's a part of her. You can still see the details. Because professional mermaid tails are also all handmade and molded to fit each person. Even if they don't lay every individual scale, good professional mermaid tail makers are very meticulous about what they do.
This is what happens when Disney refuses to pay practical effects artists. We could have had beautiful, handmade tails that would look real on screen for decades to come and could be reused for promotional purposes - instead, they're underpaying and overworking their non-unionized employees to make CGI tails that don't even look real now.
(to be clear, I'm not shitting on the artists. As I said, they're being underpaid and overworked. This is not their fault)
And before anyone comes and says "But swimming in those is difficult!" Absolutely it is. You should never swim in a professional level tail (or even just fabric tails) without practice and training. Which Disney could have given the cast if they were willing to PAY people (the cast of H20 [a TV SHOW] literally learned how to be mermaids on set. It's been done before)
Disney's "Live Action" needs to be rebranded as "CGI with some real people tossed in" because that's all any of these remakes have been, and it's exhausting when I look at what we could have had.
