you know, I’m really glad Dreamworks didn’t do anything much with Perrito.
they could’ve easily made him like the Dog of Life (opposing Death and trying to show Puss how to enjoy life’s simple pleasures) or a twist villain (in the hands of another company, that probably would’ve happened) but he’s exactly the same at the end of the movie as he was at the start. a pup who was abandoned and then found by Puss and Kitty, who gave him his name and came for him each time he was lost or kidnapped.
probably a hot take but we should bring back the term mogai. its such a good generalized versatile term and i hate its just been boiled down to "the cringe neopronoun and xenogender group, unlike us Based And Real LGBTs" (for the record i use neos and xenos myself, before anyone takes this out of context LOL)
like. lgbtqia is such a mouthful and there are (shockingly! 😱) people who dont like being called queer because of its history as a slur!
mogai literally stands for marginalized orientations, genders, and identities. why are we not using this.
like genuinely this is why people dont take our community seriously. its not the fact neopronouns and xenogenders exist, its the fact yall are constantly fighting each other lmao
jean moreau and regulus black my 2 raven haired gray eyed french boys… so bitchy so traumatized
the thing is they’re both terrified of being hurt but throwing themselves on the sword anyway. both accepting the accusations of traitor and coward because they believe they deserve them. both waiting to be beaten like a bad dog, waiting for the other shoe to drop because they don’t believe good people exist anymore. both liars. both too busy repressing their worst memories to grieve. both stubborn until the last. anyway–
Everyone jokes about Zhongli being #old and not understanding internet meme culture but I really need to stress I think if you explained internet meme things to the Archons, Zhongli and Nahida would make “technically correct but hilariously out of touch with internet meme culture by virtue of being very well adjusted + offline” applications of internet terms in the Exact same way
Like if you explained the definition of “skrunkly” to Nahida what’s going to happen is while walking with her in the rainforest you’re going to hear her go “awww :) the skrunkly!” and turn around thinking she saw like, a cute animal or one of her Aranara or something only to realize she is referring to a specific species of plant she spotted that she thinks is nice
Meanwhile Hu Tao sends Zhongli a funny message and he responds with nothing but a very carefully taken photograph of a rock. And she is incredibly confused and after 5 minutes of decoding this goes “Zhongli are you…using this picture of a rock as a reaction image?” and Zhongli is like yes :) I am. And she’s like “why” so Zhongli sends her a very thoughtfully detailed message explaining he found this rock on a morning stroll outside the harbor and thought it has a very “humorous and engaging shape” and had little flecks of color that reminded him of a kind of jewelry accessory that was popular in Liyue 300 years ago that was often a gesture of good humor and friendship, so he found it “a good choice of image to use in a humorous interaction with a companion”
And Hu Tao is just like okay thanks Zhongli you are so interesting. Makes sense. (She thought it was just bc the rock was kind of shaped like a laughing face if you squinted)
New fursona dropped! click/download for bettah quality. Chest censor for cowardly tumblr.
Closeup shots under the cut, as well as some elaborations.
This reference sheet has been in the makes for around 2 months or so now, it's honestly been really slow progress due to me starting my first ever job ontop of ADHD. I noticed that my ADHD symptoms have been worsening due to getting a job, and I currently do not have access to medication or anything of the sort. Regardless, this character is a love letter to myself; over the past year or so I have been trying to come to terms with who or what I am. I'm going to be honest, this really means accepting that there are some things that I cannot put a label on. I wrote Bigender on the reference because I think it comes close to describing what I experience, but I honestly could not write it down in a comprehensible way, nor could I do this with my sexuality, seeing how closely it ties to my autism, and how I navigate intimacy. Just have fun with it.
The past few months I have really developed a love for bovids, and I think that has been a very big step in accepting myself as well. People kinda look at a lot of them as dumb or unassuming or even dangerous, they are a little frightened and sometimes see them as gross or unsightly or dumb. I relate to this... they're big and gentle and cute to me though. And I think that I am similar to this. I feel like a cow a lot, or maybe a deer, or goat, or sheep... I don't know too much about them just yet, but I admire them so much. Please follow @bovineblogger SO many great posts. And while you are at it...please follow my close friends... @angelkids @thathandsomeangel @dragonboness. They have been here with me for maybe 6 years now as my best friends. They have watched me explore, and they have supported me for so long. It's mentioned in the ID, but the friendship bracelets my fursona is wearing are all based off of them. They are the greatest.
I'd also like to mention that my sona would always have to be a mixture of animals. I feel like a lot of animals, personally, and though I don't use labels like therian or otherkin much, I feel like understanding those experiences would help anyone understand a little more how I feel about bovids, dragons, birds, etcetera. I hope that if you took the time to read this, you understand how much this process meant to me. I have been trying my best to understand the world around me and myself in turn, and I hope that you can as well. The best way to fight fear is with your undying curiosity. It pays off so well. Please, explore the wonderful world...and explore yourself as well. Maybe some things will always remain a mystery...but when you are always curious, it becomes easier to accept the unknown, and not to discredit it.
