Got anything about loons? They look real rad :D

sure! as the favored waterbird of the inland north, loons can be found on everything from state flags to motivational stationery.

but while all of this hoohah might give you a pretty good idea of what these elegant birds look like, they absolutely fail to give you a sense of scale!

these fuckers are HUGE.

#cursed biology #if you didn't know that loons were almost the size of a canada goose then congratulations. now you do!

[Image description: a six panel digital comic, drawn with limited colours. The image backdrop is a light blue, all the panel backgrounds are in black-and-white, and all the speech bubbles are a light brown. Some of the text is obstructed, presumably referring to geographical locations.

Panel 1: PauseUnpause is speaking on a cell phone. Pause wears a brown leather jacket, and two small feathers are tucked behind his ear. There are trees visible behind him. Pause asks: “Beef?”

Panel 2: VintageBeef is speaking on a landline phone. Beef wears a blue baseball cap, his usual black shirt, and one strap of his white apron is also visible. Beef says: “Pause? Is that you?”

Panel 3: Pause is looking at an asphalt road going through a thick forest. There is a car on the road, parked at an unusual angle. Pause says: “Beef, are you still in [blank]?” Beef answers over the phone: “Yea, why?” Pause says: “Can you come pick me up? I’m near [blank], just off the highway. I think my car’s totaled.

Panel 4: A closeup of the car’s front. The car is damaged and there’s a crack in the front window. Off-screen, Beef says: “Oh my god. Are you okay? Are you hurt?!” Pause responds: “Yeah, I’m fine.”

Panel 5: A further closeup of the cracked window. Pause continues: “But I think... I think I might’ve hit someone. Or-“

Panel 6: A creature known as Ethoslab lies across the road, unconscious. Etho has a large mouth with four vampire-like fangs sticking out. There is dark purple discoloration all over his skin, primarily on the left side of his body. The tips of his fingers look sharp and claw-like. Etho is wearing a white ragged t-shirt, black pants and black shoes. Pause continues: “...or something”, with emphasis on “thing”.

Below the last panel, the watermark reads: comic by @paradise-and-cola. End description]

sooo it’s week one of @shepscapades‘ hermit redesign challenge and i already cheated big time. i didn’t feel like doing high fantasy, and thought “hey, what if i used classes from a different ttrpg system?”, and one thing let to another, and now i present to you a Monster of the Week Team Canada AU!

version without text below the cut because i’m really proud of the backgrounds!

[Image description: The same comic as above, but without any speech bubbles and split into two image files. The first image has an added watermark between panels 1 and 3. End description]

#there will be character sheets and backstories and headcanons galore but for now have this comic to set up the stage #did you know comics take absolutely forever to make? i feel like i acquired several new skills in the process #like how to draw spooky canadian forests cars and cracked glass #pauseunpause #pauseunpause fanart #vintagebeef #vintage beef #vintagebeef fanart #ethoslab #etho #etho's lab #ethoslab fanart #etho fanart #team canada #hermitcraft #hermitcraft fanart #mcyt #mcyt fanart #paradise and block men #my art #my comics #motwtc au

i think kaycee would kinda believe in aliens/cryptids/the paranormal she wouldnt be a total nut about it or perhaps even admit it to most people out of embarrassment but i feel like its a fitting assumption especially after seeing the cursed disk (+maybe another reason she's predisposed to enjoy leshy's theming the most with his cryptids)

#however (im going to talk about the TMA au now tune out if you dont care) i think she Would be more fanatical about it in a tma sense #cause i Think of her becoming hunt-aligned by having an encounter with a hunt creature (wolfman?) when she was younger #then she gets crazy trying to figure out wtf that was for the rest of her life #trying to learn about the specific creature she saw leads her down the rabbit hole of believing Everything #its how she eventually bonds with leshy since he's a hunt-aligned monster/cryptid nut too! and they descend further into insanity together😄 #she is ab-so-fucking-lutely stupid enough to throw her old life away and travel with a 6'10" sketchy old russian man #who probably didnt even get to canada legally. to go find the mothman #i know its trevor and julia 2.0 but have you considered i love trevor and julia.

idk if its just my school but those posts about no one in this generation knowing how to use computers are kind of confusing to me . like yeah people are still idiots but hearing stories about not knowing how to use the file system are absolutely insane to me .

#ramblings #though now that i think about it my cousin from canada couldnt use her files for shit . but i kind put that down to her having a mac #and also what i was trying to teach her how to do . it involved the command terminal but i mean . it wasnt that hard #like it was a sims dlc unlocker its BUILT for idiots you can tell on the website the creator is fed up with the simmers #everyone i know who uses a mac who isnt in my tech class is . significantly worse #but theyre still not THAT bad #idk . maybe i have a skewed perception because the main class we use computers in is well . digital tech . we code . no one here is an idio

(whispers in your ear in a fellow ADHD-haver manner) Learn to sew, learn to sew, it's such a good life skill, you'll be able to fix tears and make adorable fandom plushies and turn your textile dreams to reality, do iiiiiiiit, join us~!!!

NO NOT THE ENCOURAGEMENT ANYTHING BUT THE ENCOURAGEMENT

#Such enabling! Such betrayal! and from a fellow adhd haver too! how could you????? /j #For real though right now is somehow both the best and the worst possible time for a new interest #Best bcs I'm currently in between hyperfixations and i can feel the little hooks of fixation in my brain just waiting to dig into something #And worst because I'm not at home for the next few days and can't do anything even if I wanted to #And by the time I return the moment will have probably passed #So we'll see ig #tho the idea of making fandom and other plushies in general is very alluring ngl #Bcs I've wanted a grimmchild plushie for a while now and the only seller I know of is in Canada I think. The shipping prices would be insan #But... If I learn how to do it myself... Hmm... 🤔 #Or those butterflies/moths you shared those are so so cute #So‚ maybe‚ the interest will actually somehow manage to last long enough for me to do anything about it. who knows! We'll see!

I love how my view of Canada has changed over the years. From a repressed doormat of a man to a Doesn’t Fucking Care Anymore kind of guy

#he’s just 100% done #like yeah I think he USED to be a doormat #but now he just either stays out of it/ignores it or goes with it and chills in the background #it’s called ✨adapting✨ #he comes off as an asshole but once you get to know him #you realize he’s just in a deep depression with no signs of improving and this is just who he’s become #hetalia #hetalia headcanons #hws canada

Can't even mention that a store near me is clearly using abusing the TFW program because they refuse to pay little more than minimum wage in a high cost of living area (also you won't get benefits and you'll only be part-time) because the fascists and right-wingers will jump in to say it's about immigration and white replacement.

No, it's because rich white people want to hoard even more money and found an intentional loophole to both make more money (via paying employees less) and also have more power over employees, employees who may or may not know Canadian employment laws (or safety laws) and even if they do, don't have the ability or support to try to hold the company accountable.

You can absolutely criticize the federal government for keeping the loophole open but it predates Trudeau by decades and it was Harper who both expanded the program and added a way for companies to fast-track TFWs. It was also under Harper that companies started firing Canadians (or not hiring them) and then requesting permission to mass-hire TFWs instead.

But the way the right wing talks, you would think Trudeau started this whole thing and the poor multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies are being taken advantage of. Also that housing prices, lack of new developments, and zoning issues started with Trudeau and are the fault of mass-immigration he has a boner for instead of being an issue for decades and experts warning this would happen if governments didn't act ASAP.

Instead the neolibs and cons kept cutting back and kicking that can down the road, a can that started being kicked by Mulroney and the Conservative Party.

#as a 90s kid i grew up with warnings about healthcare and housing and how we needed mass immigration or a massive baby boom #because of the utter lack of federal support and an aging workforce #the systems were already being strained to their limits and there literally weren't enough millennials to replace retiring workers #*or* bring in enough taxes to fund said systems when the system needed it the most #not even increase funding just keeping the same funding that was already not enough #also the right conveniently ignores (or doesn't know about) the extremely predatory recruitment industry #that targets people overseas while lying and charging large amounts of money to bring tfws to canada #you could even blame chretien for expanding it to include 'low-skilled' workers which is what companies are abusing it for #hell even trudeau sr for creating it in the first place even though it was originally made for high-skilled or niche jobs #but no the blame is always trudeau jr with a ton of racism and brownnosing capitalists #because all these problems sprang up suddenly under him #and in no way did harper start/expand/not end/be complicit in any of this /s #though i guess for some of the fascists it seems that way 'cause they weren't personally affected by it until now #and companies have stopped trying to pretend they aren't grabbing as much money as possible because fuck anyone else #even though it's been like that for decades and capitalism itself encourages companies to skim money off the top #while not having the checks and balances to limit just how much #for that you need governments to regulate things and that doesn't work when you have leaders who are anti-regulation #and who believe in trickle down economics #just... the whole thing is not happening in a bubble and involves multiple people and both the neolibs and cons #because it's been building for decades #but you can't bloody say that because the moment you mention housing/jobs/healthcare and/or tfws #you get inundated by fascists who think you're one of them and hit you with some of the most unhinged shit #or who don't even care about you and just want someone to rant at about how it's the evil left's fault for everything #hell you can't even say you don't like trudeau because same thing: fascists think you're one of them or someone to bring into the cult
