Because of the new @strange-aeons video, I've seen a lot of newbies to the clown husbandry scene, and while I'm personally thrilled about the light shed on our small but very important community, I've got a few important reminders to all interested/new clown keepers!
Clowns are living creatures!
To the seasoned keeper, this may seem an incredibly simple minded first point- but I've seen time and time again, a clown being adopted because they're cute, and promptly being abandoned due to the new keeper not having realized they were getting into.
Clowns are living, breathing creatures that can become trusted and wonderful companions- if you are capable of giving them the care that they require and frankly deserve. A mistreated clown will not take kindly to their handler. That being said..
Clown breeds require different care!!
From loud, fun loving entertainers like the party clown to the quiet, reserved hijinks of the mime, clown breeds vary as much as any other pet you may have had. Before adopting a clown, ensure that you have what you need to take care of them! This involves room for troupemates if they're a social species, animals for a rodeo clown, ect ect ect. This also involves appropriate habitation. Don't keep your jester in a haunted house!!
Chucklets are NOT for beginners!!
This is probably the MOST important point of this post- If you're a beginner clown owner, do NOT adopt a chucklet!! I know the appeal might be hard to resist, but chucklets are oftentimes naturally quite violent! I know a guy who lost a finger to a birthday cross chucklet, one of the most gentle breeds out there. Chucklets are volatile until their adult markings grow in, and remain volatile if not properly trained and cared for. Clowns will remember the faces of humans they don't like, even if they don't remember why they don't like that human. Remember, Clowns can be rather simple. You put yourself AND the chucklet in danger if you aren't properly equipped to care for them!
Thank you for reading! If there are any questions, my dms and asks are always open ☆♡

dear clown husbandry tumblr, I’m looking into adopting my first clown. I went to the clown shelter last week. Because I know space is important, I was originally looking for a pygmy clown, but there is a little guy there that stole my heart. He’s a smallish Tramp-mixed mutt, mostly brown and grey but with a lovely mix of patterns and a few pops of colour. I’ve heard that tramps bond fairly quickly, is this true? I thought if any clown would feel at home in a rural basement suite, it would be a small tramp-mix (he would have yard space and I am aware that clowns with less space need more frequent walks)
if he wouldn’t do well in my home, I’ll of course leave him for a more suitable home. I’d just love advice from those experienced in clownery!

Any advice on breeds of clown that are easy(er) to raise for beginners? I've had a growing interest in partaking in clown husbandry, but no luck in finding active blogs or circles or places for advice.
Are there any humane breeders I can adopt from? A clown shelter? Anything helps!
hihi! the recommendation i usually give for beginners is definitely to go with a party or teacup ^^!
party clowns are the most common clown for sure; they're pretty much what you'd think of when you traditionally think of clowns! their needs are basic (though that doesn't mean you should just slap a tent together and call it a day!); they're usually satisfied with pretty much any type of circus toy you can give them. they ARE very social, so i'd recommend you be able to give them lots of attention or be able to socialize them with people to entertain or other clowns. they're also really talented at doing tricks, and they'll wanna impress you! parties are defsies a breed that make wonderful companions
teacups are a breed that sort of depends on what they're mixed with. their defining trait is their size- they're naturally much smaller than other clowns and are about doll-sized, which in turn makes them easier to care for because they need less. you get smaller tents and toys for them, and they're usually satisfied with that! they're a good breed for people with smaller living spaces or people looking to save money. behavior varies between them; party/teacup breeds are, again, the most common, and they tend to be what most people go with for their outgoing personalities. other mixes are plentiful though, if you're looking for something a bit different, so i'd recommend you do your own research to see what fits you the best!
obviously, all clowns are different, and no traditional breed traits are universal to each individual clown, but these are some general pointers. as for breeders and shelters, i can't verify any breeders personally, but i help run the Silly☆Stuff shelter here in my town! we take care of any sort of clown that we're brought, and all our care is informed and responsible. generally we manage to get all our clowns a perfect home, so if you wanna look for a clown who suits your needs, they'll have you take a look at which clowns they think you'd be good taking care of!
in any case, we'll be wishing you luck in finding a clown. first clowns are always an exciting experience! happy clowning :^)!

There's this stray clown that lives in my neighborhood, I don't know her breeds but she's kind of a terror. She has white limbs and face with moon motifs all over her, she has a black nose and no pupils, she is around six feet tall and her limbs fade into a black at her hands. She has gold cheeks and ribbons around her feet instead of shoes. She blocks paths for people and wanders into the street. She's taken a piece of the forest near the road as her territory. I think she also might be expecting? Recently, she's gotten more aggressive and territorial over her spot. She clicks and honks at the ground, but i haven't gotten close enough to see if there's eggs. She's stayed in that spot for longer and longer,I'm afraid that she might not be eating because she's stressed over leaving her eggs. I want to be able to home her if she is expecting, but I need to know her breeds and how to take care of baby clowns. Any advice would be appreciated
Honestly my best advice is to call a clown sanctuary near you to get someone to come In person, to me this sounds almost like a scare toy antique mix? And this does sound like nesting behavior! Your best bet is having local agency come out and assess her, they’ll be able to take her in, give her any medical care she needs and see if she can be rehomed! Usually in these situations If there are eggs the sanctuary will want to keep them until at least three months after they’ve hatched to properly socialize them. But after that they should be up for adoption!
If there aren’t any near by clown sanctuaries please go to our website and call our offices number, there may be a way we can send someone out personally! Thank you so much for the message and good luck!

any advice for people looking for resources before adopting their first clown? anything you think they should know?
Hello! Welcome to the clown husbandry community, friend! It can be difficult to find reliable resources, as there's a lot of opinions on the best ways to care for clowns. Just like any other animal, it's important to do a lot of research about things like diet, enclosure and enrichment for yourself-- making up your own mind about those things based on what you think is best. Tumblr is a great place to start, though! There's a lot of blogs (mine included, I would like to think) that offer a lot of help to current and prospective clown keepers.
That being said! My personal advice for new clown owners... I think I'll limit myself, lest this post be way too long (as I'm verbose and don't know when to shut up) to three points.
1-- Start with an easy breed! There's a lot of clown breeds with very specific and very intensive care requirements- such as, for example, a jester of any variety (speaking from experience haha). However, clown keeping doesn't have to be that difficult! For a beginner clown owner, I recommend a party clown or a mix that includes party. They have simpler enrichment needs (a pie, a horn and balloons should be more than enough), and don't require things like a haunted house, or a three-ring circus tent to make them happy! Most party clowns, especially birthday variety, are vibrantly colorful, funny, and live to make a frown a smile, making them the perfect choice for a first time owner.
2-- Clowns of all breeds need healthy, balanced diets! It may not look balanced to you and me, due to the amount of candy and sweets, but keep in mind that clowns are very different than humans! The more important thing I can think of off the top of my head is that specifically Candy Faery brand Candy floss is not real cotton candy! I've never had a clown have a good reaction to Candy Faery floss, despite its popularity, so stray away from it is my recommendation.
3-- My single most important piece of advice for new clown owners is to not get only one clown. Clowns of most varieties are very social (unless you're getting a scare clown, which you shouldn't be doing as a first time owner anyway imo), and in order for them to remain happy, their plumage to remain bright, and their acts to not grow stale, you should have at least two clowns, though three is better. Personally, I would consider keeping one clown alone to be extremely vile unless you can dedicate ALL of your time to them.
That's all! I hope you get some use out of this nonny! ☆♡

Clown and Parrot being relatively light because they're birds..... Parrot's cloak is kinda heavy though to keep him grounded + he wears pretty heavy jewelry. Clown keeps himself light so he's quieter. However this means you can pick him up and launch him at mach speeds

I have come to teach you and all your followers my simple way of doing a magic circle, since every popular style I’ve seen is unnecessary complicated.
First start with your string
Tumblr media
Then you cross it
Tumblr media
Then pull the string on the top through the part on the bottom
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now you have a slip knot. And know we’re going to crochet around the slip knot and the tail.
You’re going to insert your hook into the loop of your untightened slip knot, yarn over, pull through, and then pull through the two loops on your hook to do a single crochet (or double crochet if you’re using uk terms)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And bam! You have a magic circle!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Continue crocheting around the slip knot and tail, when you’re ready to tighten it, just pull the yarn tail!
Hope this helps you all, in case you want to do a magic circle for the possum patterns instead of the chain two method :3
Very cool and I think me and my followes will love it

Oh I love how a post about Ukrainians, including LGBTQ ones, literally being genocided by russians gets 100 notes by Ukrainians themselves (and our Eastern European friends), but a post about LGBTQ rights in russia gets 20 000 in one day. Hmm, I wonder who westerners identify more with, such a mystery

“What’s a pretty knight like you doin’ on a pretty night like this?” “… Stars, you are insufferable, rat.”
(ID: Kirby series fanart of Daroach & Dark Meta Knight floating at an angle over a star-dappled sunset sky. The thief drifts up from the gold light of dusk with a cocky grin and sultry gaze, and the knight hovers above him against a violet backdrop of stars, his wings spread wide and rimmed in both sunlight and starlight, his hand on Daroach’s chin, his eyes on his mouth. END ID.)
Y'know. I had a very different vibe in mind when I started this piece. Then I threw on a gradient map and was like “Oh wait this kinda slaps actually,” so now it’s way more sentimental than I meant it to be. Still like how it turned out, though - drawing these two helps during this current bout of Very Bad Brain Time™.
Started 12/13/23, finished 12/16/23. NOTE: This was originally posted on my deleted account on 12/16/23.

Collectively, we loathe the clown.
But if you are on desktop, you can just open a chat and hide him.
Before.

After.

Did I time these screenshots to work with the Aemond Targaryen gif?
Of course I did.
This fictional man owns my pussy body and soul.
Thank you for letting me use our chat to show this @sylasthegrim 💜
