people are always talking about straight furries being rare but they’re nothing compared to furries who know how to put together a good colorscheme
this post annihalated the entire furry community in a single blow
I always appreciated the complete lack of restraint furries have
“here’s my original character, he’s a purple cat centaur with a robot arm, glowing eyes, magic pentagrams, pink bat wings, two gigantic dongs, nine tails and a mullet”
craig, necromancer and lup fanboy: i mean i’m sure you’re, uh, great too, but as soon as i heard lup was working for the raven queen i started doing a lot more rituals with fire and i just thought… you know…
kravitz: that’s really not how this works
craig: well, obviously i know that now, but do you think… i mean is she busy?
kravitz, reaping craig’s soul: things will be easier with two more reapers, i said. the astral plane will run so smoothly. they saved the planar system surely they deserve a lighter sentence…
kravitz has no one but himself to blame. he brought this on himself.
Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them.
“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”
“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”
It’s just.
50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job.
i also like that this is a “ask craftspeople” thing, it reminds me of when art historians were all “the fuck” about someone’s ear “deformity” in a portrait and couldn’t work out what the symbolism was until someone who’d also worked as a piercer was like “uhm, he’s fucked up a piercing there”. interdisciplinary shit also needs to include non-academic approaches because crafts & trades people know shit ok
