I worked at the Bronx Zoo in 1995 and there was an old man volunteering there who in the 1920s saw their live thylacine. Sad conversation with him b/c he'd always known it was a special opportunity to see it, but he couldn't describe it as anything special - what he was saying was what you would say if asked to describe the video clips. The pure experience of it cannot be transmitted. I have loved thylacines my whole life and feel cheated. We were all cheated.

Woah! Lucky you :D There are probably not that many (if any) people alive today who saw a thylacine as kids and were old enough then to remember it still, since the last one died in 1936. Pretty cool that you met someone who did and got the chance to talk to him about it! Even if he didn't find it that special, I'd say that that puts you closer to tassies than most of us will ever be in a way :P Not many people can say they saw an extinct animal alive, so I think that alone is pretty cool too. I'd have asked him to describe so many details he'd probs be annoyed, lol. I can see why some people would think they aren't special, but I do. Yes, a lot of the wonder and mistique around them comes from the fact that they are extinct, but I think they're special on their own.

Possums that looked like wolves. What's not to love?

I love that you sent this ask, actually. It warmed my thylacine-loving heart in a way :'3 have some other pictures I took in the museum as a thank you (the lighting there is terrible for pics, but hopefully you enjoy it still)

But honestly, I get you. There are things that can't be said with words, and I think experiences are one of those things. Even with the most eloquent of descriptions, I think you can never fully understand what someone else went through or felt at a certain situation. I know that if I got to see a living thylacine, I'd never be able to convey what it meant to me. Even if most people found it dumb/didn't get why it was special to me. Heck, people at the museum were probably confused as to why I was crying at a mounted animal oop

It's sad, but in a way, thylacines disappeared twice. Once when the last one passed away, and again when the last people who saw them alive passed away too. First they were gone, and lived on only as memories. Now that the memories are gone as well since those people are (most likely) gone too, we only have the ghosts - the pictures, the drawings, the videos, which shape the ideas we get of them. Like you said, you, and I, and anyone else who wishes to see them, were robbed.

All we have of the thylacine is old. A video I've seen a million times, pictures that will never move or make a sound. We were robbed of so much when it comes to them. We were robbed of their sound, of their colors, their behavior. We have nothing now. We'll never know what they sounded like, or watch them hunt, or learn more about them. Really, all we have is ghosts and other people's memories as we look at the pictures other people took.

And that will have to do.

Little story for yall: when I was at the museum, there was a little girl with her dad there too. She'd jump from one animal to another, asking him to tell her where each animal lived (as the exibitions were labeled by place of origin of the animals). They got to the tassie the same time that I did, and when she asked "where does this one live?" he read the sign and replied "It doesn't live anymore. It doesn't have a home anywhere. They're gone."

And then they walked away, and I didn't see them anymore. But man, that hit hard. I keep hearing that in my head, over and over again.

It doesn't live anymore.

It doesn't have a home anywhere.

They're gone.

That dad and little girl probably didn't think anything of it. But I'll never forget that. How thylacines once lived, once had a home.

And now, there's none.

Been thinking of incorporating those sentences into a drawing of them or smth. I know it's very r/im14andthisisdeep but let me weird about them ok they make me sad

But yeah, that's my thylacine rant for the night. Because there aren't enough of those in my blog :P Thanks again for this, as it allowed me to ramble oops. Hope you doing well!

#Thylacine #Tasmanian tiger #Tasmanian wolf #ask #anon #also if anyone feels the need to comment about how this is probs fake and I fell for it or smth #dont <3 #i know people lie on the internet but let me have this #idec if it isnt real tbh it allowed me to ramble some and also made me happy #also like. some people out there were alive in the 90's and saw thylacines as kids #the bronx zoo had several thylacines until 1919 so. yeah #anon if yoire reading this im not calling you a liar!! i believe you and im really happy you shared this! #i just had to deal with a bunch of people being rude online recently and it left me jaded #thanks again! <3 #Oslo Museum #extinct animals

i think my next spider goal is getting my hands on a species that makes big chunky webs. chilean rose-hairs are stupid easy to take care of but they don't... do... much of anything, really. like a pet rock you occasionally feed live insects to. it's perfect for beginners, like me which is why i sought out this specific species, so i could test my mettle with a nice hardy little bastard before trying to care for more delicate species

one day i want to have like. a true orbweaver of some kind. you don't really see a lot of pet orbweavers out there but they're like, The Spider. the spider you think of when you think of spiders. they're the ones with the big, delicate, classic "spider webs", and i'd want to display one in an enclosure that could really show that off, but i would imagine that might take a huge enclosure and big tanks are goddamn expensive

#one time when i was a kid i went to the woodland park zoo #and they had a big orbweaver web #with NOTHING KEEPING THE SPIDER IN #No glass or anything. it could've just left whenever #but it DIDN'T. because this is where its web was and it didnt have to go anywhere #i've been a little obsessed with replicating that display ever since. but i'm sure there's a reason it's not there anymore #i wish i remembered what species it was. probably one of those giant golden orbweavers?

people who go to ls dunes just to film frank iero all night and who scream fanatically every time the man exhales. please reconsider

#idk yall i was in the left side of the audience right opposite frank #unintentionally. the entrance was that side and i just joined the crowd there and stayed there. #but man the amount of people who were specifically there for frank and literally just filmed him or took photos of him all night? #like its a whole ass band there are 4 other guys right there. its not the frank iero zoo exhibit #ls dunes #f #my shows

We were meant to go to the zoo on my birthday but didn't because my family basically forgot my fuckint birthday.

(For real tho, we've had a traditional birthday breakfast since I was fucking five and this was the first time ever we didn't do it)

And so I've been planning a zoo trip for 6 fucking months since then and finally thought it was going to happen this weekend but I went to book the train tickets and the journey has doubled in time and the trains have been replaced with buses :)

So now I've spent over a fucking week trying to find out whether or not these buses will actually be buses or if they'll be coaches and as such be suitable for my medical need to take a piss every 5 seconds but no ones replying to me and we were meant to go on Saturday and I'm...

Like this fucking zoo trip has been my reason for living for the past 6 months and now we might not be able to go and i am so so upset and annoyed.

Just reply. Just let me know if there's a fucking toilet so I can either go cry in my room or get excited for the zoo.

#about me #like at this point i kinda know were not goig #but theres still that hope that theyll reply like oh yes its a coach baby girl youll be able to take a piss #but theres 2 days left and ive had no reply #and fhe ticket prices are getting higher and higher #and im never gonna get to go to the fucking zoo

Did you like the movie?

I did!! I think the characters were played well and the story was told well but the singing just felt so out of place for me 💀 like I know that of course that’s a vital part of the storyline and the book, but when she first started singing out of nowhere I was like okay it’s giving high school musical LMFAOSKD

I feel like in the original movies, Katniss singing was incorporated way better and here it just seemed so abrupt and out of place?? but then again maybe that was the intention, since no one expected her to do that and it’s what ended up winning people over to her cause etc etc

Idk I have mixed feelings sorry for thought-dumping SKDNSNDN but all in all, I think they adapted the book pretty well and the casting was on point

#they left out some stuff that I thought was important like Snow’s relationship with Sejanus’ family cause that was integral #especially bc of the ending and how Plinth essentially adopted Snow as his son and funded his every move towards presidency #when in reality he’s the reason his real son ended up dead #one scene I’m kinda glad they left out tho was how when that district girl killed the capitol girl at the zoo and how afterwards #they strung up her body and paraded it around the Capitol to instill fear in the districts n shit #that was traumatizing to read like…. #like it was a big fancy parade honoring the Capitol girl (even though she deserved to die with how she was taunting that poor starving girl) #and as part of the celebration they just had the distric girl’s corpse swinging around as punishment #seeing that irl would have given me nightmares 😭
