#she has no special quality

[jennrypan]

So..Zoe gets to be openly gay but

Juleka and Rose and Marc and Nathaniel, who VERY WELL COULDVE BEEN MADE OPENLY GAY THIS ENTIRE FUCKING TIME.

Can't.

Okay, sure. And no little fuckin hints don't really count if the rando new character you shit out suddenly gets to do it.

Literally what has Zoe don't but EXIST for no actual reason?? She's every character rolled into one but she gets every storyline handed to her and rushed out of no where?? Tf. Make it make sense.

The only good thing she has is a cute character design, outside of her hero costume which is absolutely heinous.

#j.p speaks #her character irks me cuz it has NOTHING TO THE STORG #Shes just fuckin here to make chloe seem worse and idk??? be the new bee even though sabrinas there?? #like..what does she add to anything #she has no special quality #shes exactly like marinette and rose #shes ig artistic but so is alix and marinette?? #shes nice..SO IS EVERYONE ELSE #This character is boring and useless. #zoe salt #mlb writing salt #character salt #if she wasnt so fucking boring id care a smidgen

Some inside job art! Mostly just trying to figure out how to draw these two

#inside job #brett hand #reagan ridley #doodles #these aren’t rlly anything special yet just me figuring out there designs but! there will be more…. I promise hhgh #I need to figure out how to draw Brett doing diff expressions ghgh. cuz so far I can only confidently draw him w his mouth gaping open #his mouth is so interesting tho! I love. how they draw it in the show. it’s cute. it’s one of his many cute qualities. #this is a man constructed out of mostly just cute qualities honestly ghgh #but so yeah! I wanna figure out. how to properly and confidently draw. him making diff expressions #cuz! even if usually smilingly vacantly is his default expression. he still has others! and. I wanna be able to depict them ghghg #I’m talking a lot about Brett here but I fucking love Reagan too.. she’s fucking… uGHG #WE LOVE TSUNDERES IN THIS HOUSE!!! #I kinda relate to both Brett and Reagan lol. but to be fair they both have a lot of issues so I guess it makes sense #like. me looking at Brett’s desperate need for approval: omg… he’s just like me fr fr #ghGH OK ANYWAY #yeah. have some inside job art #hopefully there will be more soon! #I fucked up one of the tags in there but I don’t feel like fixing it lol. it’s the one about ‘smiling vacantly’ #just pretend it’s not fucked up ghgh

Sorry about the color mix up. I appreciate the reply and additional info! I guess bc I know nothing about peafowl (and the fact i dont breed any type of animal), I'm having a hard time understanding how being sterile would be unethical. I do somewhat get the shortened life span. I really would like to understand this, I just sometimes need stuff explained like I'm 5.

Up front, there's no "somewhat get" to a shortened lifespan being caused by a mutation in captive populations. If an animal is capable of living 20+ years (and some live 30+ or even 40+!) and some non-essential mutation is causing them to live 7-9 years, it's flat out absolutely unethical to breed that mutation, full stop, regardless of anything else going on. That's indicative of a MAJOR problem in their genetics. There's NO ethical reason to breed that because humans like how it looks. So, even without the sterility, these birds would 100% be unethical to produce.

The short answer on sterility is this: we don't know WHY they are sterile, but they shouldn't be, and that means something has gone wrong. When something goes wrong with an animal, and it's something genetic that can be passed on, the ONLY responsible and ethical thing for a breeder to do is to stop using that animal for breeding and closely monitor any already-produced offspring for signs of the problem, and likely not breed them, either.

The longer more complicated answer is this: sometimes it's possible to separate the problem from the aesthetic when it comes to morphs, like it was for cameo + blindness, but sometimes it's NOT, like it wasn't for spider + head wobble for ball pythons. In those instances, it's... difficult. Because you're LIKELY going to produce animals that suffer the same problem as their parent(s), in the attempt to separate the problem from the aesthetic, and sometimes that's ALL you're going to produce. As a breeder, it's your absolute responsibility to NOT release the offspring into the general population, where the problem may be replicated without control, and to keep or cull the affected individuals if the problem cannot be separated from the aesthetic, or AT BEST find them guaranteed pet-only homes that will NEVER breed them.

Sometimes the problem IS purely aesthetic or harmless, like it was for pied in peafowl, and sometimes it's not, like it was for vitiligo in peafowl. The problem comes when you ASSUME a mutation is the first, and treat it like the first when it's really the second. This has caused FAR reaching consequences in the peafowl community, and I'm sure in others, where now the autoimmune disease that first bronze had has been passed into genpop by folks who thought they were breeding a harmless new variation of pied. Hybrid animals are often sterile (not in peafowl though, hybrid cristatus-muticus birds are fertile) because of a mismatch in chromosome pairing numbers, and often that's harmless. So, in some cases sterility is not an issue because it's the expected result or is otherwise harmless... but in the case of peafowl, it's NOT an expected result and we don't know if it's caused by something harmless or not.

Some species, like mice and horses and cattle and dogs, genetic testing and DNA mapping done with millions of dollars has proven that while some stuff isn't purely aesthetic, it also doesn't cause harm to the animal in a way that affects quality of life or that can be adapted for in captive care. For example, in chickens, the frizzle gene causes curled feathers in single copy and an absence of feathers in double copy. This gene is considered ethical to produce IF the breeding is done responsibly by putting a single copy bird over a zero copy bird, which produces smooth coats and frizzle coats, but it is unethical to produce double frizzles (called "frazzles") because frazzles cannot thermoregulate, can easily sunburn, and easily suffer skin injury during normal chicken activity.

For peafowl, we have NO genetic testing. We do not have the genome mapped. As far as I know there's a research group working on it (mostly for green peafowl though, in conservation efforts), but that's not remotely finished or available to the public to test anything. We don't know where any of the morph mutations sit, or what is causing them or if they do anything beyond just change the color. Sometimes color mutations are the result of malfunctions in enzymes. For charcoal specifically, we don't know what the mutation does, besides what we can observe on the outside- the birds have half or less the lifespan of normal birds, poor feather quality, and the hens are sterile. Is the sterility harmless like it is in some hybrid animals, or is it actually a major organ failing? Is it the only major organ that fails due to this mutation, or is it just the first sign of their shortened lives? Is it some deficiency in something the birds need to be healthy? Does it hurt the bird? We don't know, but we do know the mutation and the problems (multiple, please do NOT forget that this is one OF MORE THAN ONE problems) can't be separated, and so until we do know why and whether it's harmless or not, the ONLY ethical response to seeing a problem in a major organ's function linked inextricably to a mutation in color is to not propagate that mutation. If someone wanted to fork over the millions it takes to sequence and map genomes and then determine exactly what is going on with peafowl, that would be nice and good, but I don't see that happening. When I win the lottery big, I'll be doing it, but til then we can only follow normal breeding guidelines

Also, to put this into perspective... peafowl mature sexually around 3 years old. They are chicks until the turn of the new year following their hatch. They are yearlings that year, and immature 2yo next year. They aren't actually considered fully grown until 6 years old, and should live another 14+ years. Charcoal birds die a 1-3 years after full maturity. Is it a coincidence that they fail to thrive shortly after full sexual maturity, or is it linked? Again, we don't know. We don't know if the sterility is fine or if it's just a symptom of something worse.

Even without the sterility, though, charcoal has enough issues it would be unethical. If it was JUST sterility, with no other deleterious effects, then maybe it would be different. But it's not.

#peafowl #asks #anon asks #as always please bear in mind that animal breeding is NOT the same as human reproduction ethics #and I ONLY deal in animal ethics #and honestly even if it was just shit feather quality then I would personally consider it bad breeding #I asked the only person I know who still has charcoals what their issues were and lord it is worse than I thought even #she's keeping/breeding only what she can keep herself #and experimenting with feeding regimens in the hopes of correcting a nutritional deficiency #that might account for the sterility #but so far after like 10+ years she's had no luck #so it's not likely #Like there are SO MANY perfectly fine and healthy morphs out there #there's NO reason to keep making this one #it's not essential to the continuance of the species #also to anon: I'm not mad at all this is just how i sound about my special interest #I'm glad you asked questions #I appreciate you seeking info

[kazamajun]

I have been meaning to talk about how accomplished Jun is though. She:

is such a powerful psychic that her clan apparently considered her a 'chosen one'

is literally such a strong fighter that she is able to suppress projecting her aura - something only the most powerful are able to do - which is why animals feel safe to approach her

fought well enough in the second tournament that Kazuya still thinks about her strength 22 years later in the story mode and waxes lyrical about it in his character ending (❓ on if she actually faced him though)

defeated Devil while pregnant ✔️ (only the half, but still counts)

has the survival skills to not only survive but thrive far from civilization

defeated Ogre ✔️

achieved the above via drawing power from sacred ground, something the average person obviously cannot do

is implied to have Yatagarasu guiding her per one of her intros

#in another world she's a shonen anime series main character let's be honest. #regarding the ❓ i have Opinions™ but tried to keep this factual. #being real with you the number of ppl on the planet that she couldn't school in a fight is in single digits for sure. #also raw strength aside i do feel kaz prob also deeply admires her spirituality #she has attained a non-material fulfillment that culturally is quite significant and as i said in a prior post-- #--is considered a measure of one's quality as a person and the value that you bring into the lives of those you love. #i did not mention the 'kazama blood' or potential link with 'angel' bc rn those are not clearly defined #also being born with special blood isn't something 'earned' rly so while it matters™ it doesn't belong on an 'accomplishment' list imo. #i love that she's so strong and well rounded in her own right and not just 'the mom' or a distressed damsel

huntlow is one of the most superior m/f ships ive seen in recent years mostly bcus hunter has cried on screen 10x more than willow. also she will pick him up and throw him into a pile of pillows and hunter will just scamper back over for her to do it again like a small dog

#krav talks #toh #the owl house #huntlow #tired of m/f ships where the man is like 'she is traumatized and sheltered i will be her introduction into Real Life and make her dependent #nah. willow sees hunter struggle at introducing himself and goes 'by the titan i will get this boy some fucking friends' #willow 100% assumed he was just a rich kid with absent/busy parents for a minute there #which isnt even WRONG. hunter has only eaten 2 things in his life pre-luz: #field rations/MREs #and special dinners prepared by a royal chef made from the highest quality ingredients in the whole boiling isles #it was one or the other. #i wanna see hunter try drinking a sparkling water for the first time in his life

[daughterthethird]

Ok regarding the fankid thing… i realized i wasn’t actually sure how to introduce her so. uhm. Have a proto-reference sheet i made when i was screwing around with her design!

I swear ill make some actual drawings of her later <\\3 (AND MAYYBEE POSSIBLYY make a post dedicated to her character? Hmm)

Anyways here’s my beautiful daughter Panacea Cutburn :) she’s irritating and nobody likes her.

#please please please click on the image for better quality I AM BEGGING YOU. #me when im very excited to show off my oc but realizing i have next to no fully coloured drawings of her (PAIN AND SUFFERING) #this poor thing has gone through like ATLEAST more than 4 redesigns good god #the coven head server has been a maasive contribution to her (hell she was MADE from the server) so big big BIG thank you to them!!! #(despite the horrors she had to go through because the server folks love some good family angst) #HIUAHUAHBIOJANOJSHIUSHJNAIHIAA but fr she has a very special place in my heart bc of that :]c 💕💕💕 #though i will say this panacea is gonna be different from the server because im becoming more confident in making her into a solid character #so expect some changes to her for you server folks!!!! (she just became shittier personality wise lmao) #panacea #panacea cutburn #? #hettie cutburn #vitimir #coven heads #coven head #hettimir #toh fankid #the owl house #toh #*VOMITS GAGS BARFS ALL OVER THE FLOOR* AARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH

[justicecaballer]

i love jesse faden because even though she has literal superpowers she is so incredibly swagless and i say that with affection. she has ya protagonist syndrome except with no love interest and also she's 28 years old. if you dont clap for my most specialest girl i will blow this whole building up

#control #like. yeah textually she has all these great and cool qualities and im not saying she doesnt #she just also has an eau de loser about her #every time i see or think about that one post that goes #if you dont think a woman can be a lame *ss boyfriend your misogynous plain and simple #i think of her. and when i think of her i think of that post #she is so special 2 me.

[arabella-s-arts]

One of the plots in Ugly Betty season 1 is that there is a beautiful black woman better suited for a job than the white guy who only got it because his dad gave it to him, and she is trying to steal the job away from him. And somehow, in all of this, we are supposed to root for the nepotism baby.

#and people act like he is most attractive white guy you will ever see #but he's just kind of bland #the only thing special about him is the blue eye filter they put on him #and his “redeemable qualities” all are just doing the bare minimum #meanwhile the black woman is beautiful #perfect for the job #has worked at the company longer #actually wants the job #and knows what she is doing #but why is her makeup always so cakey? #I thought it might have been because makeup brands are not good about darker skin tones #but her daughter is darker than her #and I don't remember her having cakey makeup #ugly betty #ugly betty season 1

sorry not sorry but if you were ever a prequel hater i'm gatekeeping you from being a prequel lover now that it's popular to do so. you don't get to shit on the prequels for no reason only to turn around and be a prequel stannie (ESPECIALLY a hayden christensen stannie) now that kenobi is the hot new star wars thing. obikins don’t touch my post, i am also gatekeeping you <3

#the prequels had shitty dialogue? that's subjective but either way its the same exact quality of dialogue as the original trilogy #so if you constantly make fun of the pt for its dialogue you HAVE to constantly make fun of the ot for ITS dialogue #or else we both know that thats not the actual reason its just an excuse #the prequels had shitty cgi? they were all made in the late nineties/early aughts i wont say this this was the most cutting edge shit around #but it was pretty standard quality special effects for the time #you can't hate on a film because it's cgi aged poorly its unfair because this was quality shit at the time #the story was dumb? i have nothing to say to that because i can't help you if you don't have taste #ewan mcgregor was the only actor from the prequels that the 'fanbase' was even a little bit kind to #hayden christensen never got a moment's peace about his (fucking GOOD) performance and yet somehow despite that #maintains nothing but love for the films and excitement and joy at his return which makes absolutely no sense #because given the amount of shit he got he should be going through a (completely justified) fucking joker arc fr #natalie portman was treated horribly for daring to be a woman in a star wars film and then even more after the films were made #for daring to talk about star wars #despite the fact that she was In The Movies #like that one tumblr post where someone sends an ask about who does she think she is wearing a star wars shirt when she probably #hasnt seen the movies #(same ask might have also called her a bitch idk) #where the person who received the ask has to be like 'that's natalie portman and she was IN THE MOVIES' #jake lloyd's life was basically ruined and he was a fucking child when he was in the phantom menace (never forgiving y'all for that one) #and even alleged prequel lovers act like they needed to be 'fixed' like the way some 'pt lovers' talk about tcw and how it 'fixed' the pt #as if they arent just spouting the same shit that pt haters say fr #but that's a topic for another day another post i wont get into that now #i speak #star wars #kenobi #i've been a prequel stannie basically from birth i wont allow former pt haters to jump on the bandwagon #you know how people who hated the amazing spider man films started being andrew garfield stans after nwh came out? #and ppl who were constantly shitting on rpatz for the cardinal sin of playing batman before a TRAILER was even released #suddenly became stannies once the film was released and was best batman film ever made? #and how ppl who were stannies from the beginning were like 'absolutely fucking not'?

Modern AU Seteth is always on the verge of explosion -

Let it be Manu who’s, well, Manu -

Willy’s random friday evening text messages “hey bro can you take care of kid for the weekend I’m going to fuck your sister, I dropped him at your place with his artistocats dvd, k thx” -

(always followed by Rhea’s following “thank you for babysitting, we’re going on a sightseeing tour this week-end with your car I borrowed :p”)

Hanneman’s usual “I need to probe your anus, for science I swear!” -

Flayn’s “I’m going to watch a movie with Mercedes and Annette and the rest of the gang!” when he knows who is the “rest of the gang” -

Billy’s random ass questions “Ladlegard invited me this weekend to have “tea” in her mansion but no one else was invited and she told me we will be alone, should I go or will it be unprofessional?” -

Macuil’s usual “Don’t call me brother, I am very busy. Call me only when you’re about to die, and even in that case, leave a message” -

Indech’s “Sure I don’t have anything to do this week-end, but I prefer to stay in my house instead of going to yours, I prepared a prank for the neighbour with dynamite and I want to know how it’ll turn out” -

and sometimes, the icing on the cake, his mom invites herself over, to remind him how his house is small and he’s broke “I know you can do better than that!”, eats some sweets with the kids, maybe watches a DVD or two and then leaves.

#fodlan nonsense #Fodlan AU #and then everyone reunites for his birthday even Macuil who was dragged by Flayn #later on Rhea adopts Cyril and ends up with Catherine as her GF and Shamir who is Catherine's GF #and they go on sightseeing tours together to let willy spend some father'n'kid quality time like playing with pillow forts #Cyril thinks it's way too childish but is happy to whack Willy and play with his 'bro' #Hanneman is persuaded Seteth's body is something special and needs to study him #he might have listened to Manu's ramblings #Flayn will 'watch movies' with other gangs #Ignatz introduces her to films d'auteurs and she pretends she understands everything of course #Billy has more and more questions like Ladle said he should never enter her room at night but he never wanted to? #but when he told her that she became upset #it's Seteth's burden for having the single cell functionning in the family/staff #Lizard family time?
