@thatdelphox@occult.camp @kara@occult.camp it's shorthand that's useful in certain specialized circumstances:
* fanfic--saying "X canon media character and OC" lets the reader know that it's not all canon media characters, so they know what to expect going in
* art--when soliciting customs some artist specify "OCs only," which means for whatever reason (ethical, legal, artistic) they don't want to be doing pictures of existing canon media characters
The thing no one talks about with this picture is how "Do not TOOT it!" is stressed and I find that really funny https://cybre.space/media/AOEMxBo4d9OMt_gY25o
I am only mollified from the fact that the last remaining trickles of water from our taps has completely tapered out by the fact that I can *still* hear the crew working on the pipe down the hill. and see their lights, though it was much more impressive when they were cutting a pipe or something and there was a massive flare of sparks--*that* was cool-looking. fingers crossed for working water Real Soon! :|
til that the words tissue, technology, text and dachshund all derive from the same proto-indo-european root, *tetḱ- ("to weave, braid, add, establish, construct"), which came to mean "weave" in Romance languages and ancient Greek but "badger" in Germanic languages ("dachsund apparently literally means "badger dog"?)
@nowplaying @thefishcrow@cybre.space holy shit that is awesome
@shoofle @benhamill@witches.town and yet, we did it constantly, without noticing, pretty much frictionlessly, on LiveJournal, just by choosing a drop-down menu (after setting up groups). you could even choose to only "follow" certain groups, and filter your own perceptive experience as selectively as you wanted.
@Jssra I can hear them outside jackhammering *something*... so hopefully it'll be fixed before tomorrow. we've at least got some water coming through the pipes, but there's no chance of taking a shower right now. >___<
@zebratron2084 @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @mawr yepyepyepyep :D
@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @zebratron2084 @mawr I also drew him at some point (although I don't have the drawing any more), and intended to make him as a plushie which is--kind of meta but WINSLOW PLUSHIE FTW

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @mawr @zebratron2084 gawd I would be so tempted to play The Winslow. although I really shouldn't be allowed to, The Winslow isn't a character, it's an elemental force. HIYAHIYAHIHIHIHI <3
@guerrillarain@witches.town I do! I love it, but I know I'm not using it to its fullest extent--I'd say I'm using, like, 40% of its abilities, because I'm a dork who skips tutorials and reference materials. XD but even so, for that 40% it is *fantastic*. just the split screen alone is amazingly helpful.
@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @mawr @zebratron2084 sign me the fuck uuuuppppppp
yesterday's wildlife volunteering report (dead animal handling, no animal death)
and, that was pretty much it. we have several owls, mostly barred but one great horned; an assortment of smaller birds, mostly flickers, pigeons, gulls, and crows; and we just got in a bald eagle that has a broken clavicle (I think?), whose prognosis is very iffy because of the injury. basically they can't do much for it; either it'll heal right, or it won't, all the vets can do is wait and see. :/
