Hey Guys.

Day 40 - “Poisson d'Avril”, as the French say

Dusttale by Ask-Dusttale

I was working on a request, but then Peer took me by the throat and said, “I have a fantastic idea,” and so this was made. I will come back to this in 10 days, on Day 50 we will see the results of your labor.

And the first sticker represents the obligatory reblog by my main UTMV blog. And it’s a fish cause well, my blog is @/sinner-shark, and also because April Fish :) just-look up the origins of April Fools, it’s funny and fishy.

TW FOR SUICIDE MENTIONED!! A LOT

Hey guys, don't fucking comment on a suicide prevention post by ENCOURAGING SUICIDE. Even if its your talking about yourself. THATS BULLSHIT. THATS ACTUAL BULLSHIT AND FUCKED UP.

Why the hell would you genuinely think that's okay?? I know your probably not mentally well as well. But why are you encouraging suicide for other people. Or promoting it as an actual solution. That's messed up and cruel. Dead ass.

Never do that. Never ever do that, even if your not okay at the moment. I don't care how fucked up your life might be, but if your saying that on an online platform. Even if you don't have any followers, or people who look up to you. Do not do that shit. It's bad for you, and can incline someone else to doubt themselves. Someone could've worked up the courage to call, and you little comment could've destroyed their entire idea.

I don't care how meaningless you think it is. To someone, it could literally stop them from trying to get help.

it's also really awful to do, so don't.

I just got an ask about a Native spirit that many Natives have asked monsterfuckers to not use.

It starts with a W.

People from the culture it’s from do not say its name because in their culture, saying the name summons the spirit. Out of respect for my friends from that culture, I do not say/type the name either.

I would kindly ask you not put that creature in my ask box in the future. I know the person that submitted it likely didn’t know so there’s no hard feelings. It’s alright. I’m not upset.

I’m not really the best person to educate folks on this topic and I wish I had some resources on why that’s not a good thing for non-Native people to use for their fiction.

I’m sure even my wording here isn’t great. I know the spirit is from a specific Native culture (there’s a lot of them, for those that didn’t know lol) and I can’t remember which one(s) and my brain is still fuzzy from being sick.

So if any of my followers are familiar with this issue, please feel free to share the info of why this isn’t good.

Again, I understand the person that sent the ask likely didn’t know all this. I’m not upset. I just think it’s worth mentioning.

Reblogging this manually. Op doesn't want credit for fear of being terminated.

me who's extremely shy and not used to having mutuals. Like I wanna talk but at the same time I'm just an introverted mess.

Like I'd love to get to know them more, maybe make new friends. But I have no idea how to talk to people that much anymore. In person it's eh- and on platforms it's a struggle coming out of the shell.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

If you get it, you get it.

this may or may not be a fantasy writing exercise for me. please reblog

Komodo dragons have iron-tipped teeth, new study shows

Komodo dragons, the world’s largest species of lizard, have iron-tipped teeth that help them to rip their prey apart, according to new research. The metal is concentrated in the cutting edge and tips of their curved, serrated teeth, staining them orange, scientists wrote in a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Komodo dragons are native to Indonesia and weigh around 80 kilograms (176 pounds) on average. They eat almost any kind of meat and are known as deadly predators...
