#get really good at living solely on fruits and milk. or get real weird and feed on carrion only maybe

[blujayonthewing]

so I was skimming some of the flavor text in the dnd cookbook justin got for christmas, and the intro to elven cuisine mentioned many elves having dietary restrictions like vegetarianism and veganism because of "their great respect for all life", and not to be too galaxy brained and/or maybe kind of a bitch but I really feel like a lot of elves and druids specifically aren't vegetarian, because they have a better than average respect and compassion for all life but they also have a better than average understanding that that includes plants

#nothing that's alive wants to be killed and eaten actually. sorry #I think having a mindful and respectful relationship to the ecosystem and your part in it makes more sense for compassion and ethics #than trying to draw lines around which living things' desires to live and be uninjured do or do not count enough to qualify for mercy #and in dnd where there are entire peoples whose magic allows them to talk to animals AND PLANTS #I really feel like you either have to make peace with being IN the food web rather than separate from it OR... starve to death #get really good at living solely on fruits and milk. or get real weird and feed on carrion only maybe #I dunno #this is about fantasy peoples mostly but it IS also about like... #it used to be an accepted scientific truth that animals didn't have thoughts and feelings at all #it's still widely believed (and increasingly disproven) that certain 'lesser' animals can't feel pain or fear #studies are beginning to suggest that plants may be able to communicate and have some kind of consciousness that's not very well understood #I dunno it's like... we have an instinct to distance ourselves from the things we eat for our own comfort but that distance is an illusion #nothing wants to get eaten but everything must eat #worldbuilding

RULES: answer the questions and tag 15 (lol how ab out 10 tho) blogs you want to know better.

Nicknames: In RL: Ali, Al, Ali-Baba (though this one is often to annoy me XD) Online; Sooty, Soots, Shivu, Shivvy, Plasma

Star Sign: Virgo

Height: 5 ft 6 or 7?

Time Right Now: 22:33

Last thing I Googled: ‘Is cream cheese the same thing as soft cheese’

Last Movie I Watched: The Electric Piper- it’s one of those ‘lost media’ films that I saw on a list by blameitonjorge on YouTube :3

It perked my interest because it was the only one of the list that wasn’t really a part of a long-running series

It’s decent, I guess! Kinda like a more child-friendly Footloose in  a sense and, of course, based on the story of the Pied Piper

Last TV Show I watched: Animal Cops Houston, I think?

When did I create this blog: September 2013! So the blog is, what, 4 years old now? 

Why I choose my URL: Well originally it was shivuthewolf! Yes, for some reason people are surprised to find out Shivu was also the name of my fursona- and is still the name of my fursona! (come on guys, it’s right there in Shivu’s profile)

(Essentially there are two Shivus- the wolf, and the human. Why? Because I don’t see the point in making two different characters who are going to be exactly the same in personality anyway!)

I changed it because the blog was originally going to be an art blog related to my comic but I changed my mind! I thought Plasmachaos was the name of one of the Team Plasma themed TCG decks, but upon looking it up it’s not? 

So I’m not sure where it came from!

Gender: Male.

Hogwards House: I don’t know? I haven’t read Harry Potter though I’ve seen the first three movies numerous times (mum loves them)

I think Slithereen is the bad one right? So... The good one?

Pokemon Team: In Moon? Mismagius (Missy, Lv. 69), Toucannon (Pedro, Lv. 67), Alolan Muk (Diesel, Lv. 69), Primarina (Zero, Lv. 67), Jolteon (Cheetah, Lv. 66), Magmar (Firestorm, Lv. 65)

Wanna know the meaning behind the names? Of course you do!

Missy- Name of one my sister’s cats (she now lives in Canada- the cat I mean!) and also makes sense cos of the Pokemon’s name

Pedro- Name of the red-crested cardinal in the film Rio (who looks similar to the bird Pikipek is based on)

Diesel- as its colours are based on oil spillages 

Zero- I believe someone drew a picture making connections between Popplio and Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas? :3 That’s why!

Cheetah- Based on the electric cheetah-wolf of the same name from Arevn92′s comic Chakra

Firestorm- a typo from the book series Warrior Cats in which a character is supposed to be named Firestar

Favourite Colour: I really liked bright colours! Blue and yellow are my favourites but you add red to that you got a raINBOW MY DUDES

Lucky Number: Call me uncreative but... 7? 

Favourite Character: Honestly I have too many to mention! I like so many characters for a variety of reasons- though its usually the hyper ones I will be honest XD 

Number of Blankets: On what? My bed? The sofa? The ferrets hutch? Either way it’s a lot

Name: It’s a secret I tell to people a lot but SHHH 

It’s Alex

Birthday: September 21st

Siblings: One sister and one brother (both older)

Favorite Smell: I like a lot of sweet smells? You know, vanilla, chocolate, gingerbread, coffee (I guess it’s subjective on whether or not that’s sweet but still)

But there are a few smells that bring back memories for me! Musty smells remind me of my grandparent’s house (before we moved in!) and always gives me a sense of adventure as it’s how our attic generally smells (and if you know me, you know my attic is a great source of adventure)

That and stew (or just onions and meat being cooked) always reminds me of just home! x3

Pets: Two fuzzy noodles (ferrets) but if you want to get technical as a family we own two dogs and four cats (two extra if you count my sister’s cats)

Wake Up: Generally 8am- my aforementioned brother has severe autism and goes to a day centre and as I’m his sole carer I’m the one to get him ready in the mornings :3

Sleep: *snorts* early! About 9 or 10... Okay, 11... Fine! It’s more like 2am!

Type of phone: Motorola! Don’t ask me which type

I used to be so knowledgeable about phones but now I’m just like “it’s the one where I can touch the screen and magic happens”

Love or Lust: FOOD No okay, I’ll say love XD I honestly think it’s a very important aspect- not just in a romantic relationship but also in any friendship! Okay, that sounds mushy but for real- platonic love homies!

Lemonade or Tea: LEMONADE 

Cats or Dogs: BOTH

Coke or Pepsi: Both is good but I prefer Pepsi

Day or Night: BOOOOTH

Text or Call: Both? 

Make up or natural: I don’t personally wear makeup but I think whatever makes you feel more comfortable!

Met a Celebrity: If I did I didn’t notice. 

I know I’ve met a few members of the Belfast Giants (the ice hockey team who plays here, they often visit the cafe) and I didn’t know who they were but one of them mentioned they played ice hockey and one of my co-workers slung his arm over my shoulder and goes, “Hey I’ll bet this guy here could take you on!” Me, again not realising these guys were professionals, agreed and proudly stated I could beat all three of them in a game Only after did I realise who they were but they seemed to find it funny! XD

Smile or Eyes: I just got a weird image of like nothing but a mouth and eyes and I’m scared ;w; Erghh I think eyes? Frequently I can tell a lot about someone by their eyes!

Light or Dark Hair: Idk man, either or 
 Shorter or Taller: WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME ALL THIS I guess shorter? But why? Who is this? My ideal partner? My crime fighting buddy? My post apocalyptic friend?  
 Intelligence or Attraction: I don’t knooooow 
 Chapstick or Lipstick: Please let me go home, my family misses me and I miss them

City or Country: BOTH 
 Last Song Heard: Bolt OST it’s a song now shut it

Fruit or Vegetables: FRUIT

Anime or Cartoons: Both? Though fun fact; I used to hate anime! :D 
 Phone Case: None, it’s just black XD 
 Showers or Baths: We only have a shower- I prefer to get the deed of washing done and over with asap so that’d be what I’d pick anyway XD

Dream Job: I’d love to work in an animal sanctuary! But sadly, no such paid job exists in my country and I can’t really move away because of obligations to my brother :(

Milk and Cookies or Doughnuts and Coffee: BOTH BABY
