Huh, I didn't expect to see so many cool mustelids while I was here. Guess I'm just super lucky.

Just kidding! Of course, these are all taxidermy from the American Museum of Natural History. I'll be posting some more photos soon, but I could only fit so many in one post. Enjoy these for now!

RE: Taxidermy as a resting place; sorry for anon. I like to think of them as - in the same vein as shrines or memorials. It's not where the animal is resting, but it's a reminder of their life and that someone cared enough to make sure they're remembered for what they were.

i like that interpretation :)

I fuckin’ love meshed together taxidermy like this.

Kinda wish I did something like this with the first deer mount I got from my first buck kill. Woulda been waaay cooler.

#I especially love the first one #so cool #imagine bagging a deer and coyote and just goin to a taxidermist and be like #‘i wanna combine these two into one mount :)’#idk as a taxidermist i’d see that as a fun challenge #I considered and still wanna be a taxidermist #i just really wish i had someone to teach me it vs learning from youtube or something #i wanna learn more than just step by step #wanna get that experience and life stories too y’know?#also i dunno if i should put any like content warning tags so lemme know if i should tag it anything specific #so that the people who don’t wanna see this stuff can avoid it in the future #taxidermy #taxidermy deer #deer taxidermy #deer mount #gator bellows

Reminder of a Starline themed BumbleKast Q&A where Ian Flynn as Starline talks about what he would have done with Sonic and Tails bodies after the events of Issue 50: [ Tw! Child Death + Taxidermy ]

Starline is such a genuinely terrifying character (who I miss everyday ahh) and his disregard for children and his willingness to mentally and physically manipulate them for his own evil purposes (especially in the context of this answer) is genuinely chilling. It’s something I think even Eggman would be semi disturbed by which is saying a lot.

The idea of him using Sonic and Tails preserved bodies as trophies and as an example to others is so insanely horrifying, and the “well then I’ll just have to start a gallery won’t I!” in response to the idea of other hero’s trying to rise up against him somehow finds a way to make it extra disturbing. The mental image of Amy, Knuckles and all their other friends seeing what Starline has done to the brothers… to their family 💔

The thought of Surge and Kit having a constant physical reminder of what they’ve done… that while Sonic and Tails may be out the way, the two unwilling doppelgangers will forever be in their shadow, unable to truly fill the roles they were forced into and the bond the brothers had. Them getting everything they thought they wanted, yet still feeling empty inside.

Long story short: Ian Flynn did not need to go this crazy with this answer but gosh am I glad he did.

Imagine a Yautja who's mate is into taxidermy...

They don't skin their kills themselves and instead bring home the entire creature, letting their mate take care of it.

They start seeing the human's taxidermy as a new form of trophy and display it proudly to other yautja.

Eventually the human is asked to produce taxidermy for other yautja because it shows how truly gigantic some of their kills are... MAYBE THE YAUTJA ASK FOR TAXIDERMY OF THEMSELVES

#add onto this please #i love taxidermy and i think yautja would too :3 #💚original post💚#of course they also have their own death rituals etc.#that im not entirely sure of tbh #but i just think the idea of ethical humanoid taxidermy is cool and I think yautja would be a little more open to that yk?#actually if you guys have headcanons on yautja regarding death please let me know #yautja #alien vs predator #alien #slasher #alien x human #monster fucker #predator yautja

Quick shoutout to taxidermists and those who work with deceased animals whether it be spiritually or otherwise. I can see the love and care put into every cleaned skull or mounted pelt and it really shows how much one cares about the animal.

#it’s almost half past midnight and I’m thinking of how absolutely #amazing it is that people have gained the skill to preserve and create life after death #like I’ll never have the ability to completely stop people #from harming wildlife or save every animal from a roadkill accident but #I can clean this skull I found on the side of the road and honor it’s memory and that’s what matters #taxidermy #vulture culture #I just love animals man

wizzy was down for maintenance so I drew my Young Wizard while I (impatiently) waited

#chickenscratch #w101 #wizzy101 #wizzy fandom #wizard101 #the young wizard #Galathea (Eurydice)#I've reached lvl 97!!#my hc that the more magic a wizard uses the more it takes over their features physically. like the fire teachers hair or #those black eyes on malistaire. in this case my YW hair is a cloud and becomes light or stormy depending on her mood #i call her Galathea but you cannot choose that name in game so i go by Eurydice instead <//3 #not that it matters considering none of the npcs call you by name anyway dskjafjd #the frankenbunnys name is Gigi. i love her shes great she heals me and freaks other players out lmao #dont remember any of the lore surrounding the frankenbunny so my idea is that Gigi is a botched nercomancy attempt by my YW #half stuffed animal. half actual hare #Galathea had a bad mental health episode early into arc 1 and Made herself a Friend #anyway don’t let diviners perform necromany you get THAT #i realise now the words i was looking for were ‘living taxidermy’

Merfolk Fobo for @tastytoastz's Fitpac Mer AU fic 'Life is like the ocean, it goes up and down'. Click for better quality!

Design notes below the cut.

Master post of all designs for this fic

HOLY SHIT OK. So i know I did this to myself but Fobo was ROUGH to draw. Everyone gave me some trouble.

Foolish: - Great White Shark but gold - Foolish is always hard for me to draw cause everyone draws him differently. I decided to base him more off of the more human designs/ cc!Foolish for this to break up the yellow from the tail. - I didn't want to make him straight up metallic, so I gave him a goldish color

Tubbo: - Swordfish - Did you know that swordfish and marlins look very similar? Well they do, so i had to make sure that I was giving him a swordfish tail and not a marlin tail. (I redrew it so much) - I gave him a different shaped sail cause one big difference between swordfish and marlins are their dorsal fin. The tails are pretty similar, but the dorsal fin is different. (pic for ref further down) - The scars are from when he got caught in the ship rudder causing him to end up at Chume Labs ----------------------------------------- Marlin dorsal fin V Swordfish dorsal fin V

Sunny: - Fantail goldfish (I got more specific than just 'goldfish' cause i wanted to >:) ) - Flowy ruffled shirt with a cut out in the back for her sail. - This Sunny looks a lot different from my normal Sunny, but I like them a lot. - by far the easiest of Fobo Leo: - Purple Lionfish - Sail is like the spines of a lionfish but with webbing between the spines - Ears inspired by lionfish pectoral fin - The fin gave me so much grief... I wanted to have it face forward and not sideways, but I could not for the life of me get it to face forward and look good, so I gave up. - Red t-shirt with white collar. I didn't draw it here, but I imagine it also has a little white hood that has the Walter dog on it, but it might get in the way of her sail, so unsure. Also has a hole cut in the back for her sail like Sunny's

Also close ups of Sunny and Leo cause they're small in the group shot:
