The Powerful Owl Is Staring Into My Soul

FIXED IT!

Took the time to add the line of scales I forgot in this post

Not sure how happy I am with it, and the design may be subject to change, but at least this is a good temporary solution :)

Moray Eels

So, I got the sudden, inexplicable urge to draw moray eels… so here we are

look at that beautiful smile

Narrator pov, trust

thank you so much, this clears a lot up! I had no idea that it was a matter of one area kind of being split, and I agree, those atrocities sound horrible, thank you so much for explaining! It was very clear, brief, yet informative. Thank you again!

I need help (Ignorance wise)

Hello, I know this is a lot of trust to put in people online, but I’m an American, and my family doesn’t have live TV (and therefor we don’t watch the news). I have almost no way of finding out about the politics around me, and I didn’t mind at first. I didn’t realize how much I was missing, and how important it all was. I’m only now realizing just how ignorant I am. My mom was explaining the war in Palestine to me and she said so many names I didn’t recognize, and those I did I only knew their names, not who or what they are, or what they did…

I know nothing.

So I’m turning to tumblr for help, because I’ve come to trust the people here, and I’d research it myself but it all seems so overwhelming I don’t even know where to start… If someone could help catch me up, or even just give me some pointers, I would be infinitely grateful.

Thank you!

Rebloging because 1. holy shit and 2. the link for the young man’s death no longer works, hoping someone will update the link maybe? (All the other links I tried worked)

PETA

you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?

you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, stating “ We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work”?

you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?

you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?

you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?

you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasn’t even real?

you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?

Because I remember. I remember everything. 

And I’m gonna make sure everyone else remembers too. 

Arthur: So you have magic?

Merlin: Uh… yeah?

Arthur: for how long?

Merlin: Since birth.

Arthur: And you’re a dragon lord?

Merlin: Yeah my father was and it gets passed down.

Arthur: Sounds like royalty.

Merlin: No? I don’t think so.

Arthur: Yes it is, that means you’re a noble, a lord. We can get married now.

Merlin: WHAT???

A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see. Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.

None of us have time to research every image we see. We just need people to notice BEFORE THEY LIKE OR SHARE that an image might be fake. If unsure, check it or don't share.

I've started drawing some comics explaining the basic of AI spot-checking and media literacy in the age of disinformation. Follow along here or on my Twitter.

Hello! I saw you wanted some dragon requests, so here's one~! This is my sona Mei :)

(No pressure to do this if you don't want to~)

Hello! Sorry this is late, it got buried in my ask box by bots— I hope you like it!

ayyye, congrats on surpassing 100k!

you can tell this website is autistic as hell because someone posts a video with a mildly catchy phrase in it and no one shuts up about it for an extended period of time. or image even. image with a mildly catchy phrase in it even. we love phrases here on tumblr dot com love to repeat them. due to the autism

Hey guys, just putting out a PSA because now that's THREE people I know of who've got these identical messages on Discord last night alone.

If a friend messages you apologising because someone "with a similar username to you" tried to deceive them so they reported your account as hacked, and sends an image of a discord email, your friend is the one who has been hacked.

It's hard to read in the screenshot (sorry!) but it looks like the "advice" is something like "file a friend request with our CORPORATE HEAD OF SECURITY to open your case. You have 12 hours to do so or we might suspend your account."

I've been told that if you do contact that user, they try to get you to "prove" you own the account by making a "100% refundable transaction" to them. Which is so scummy.

Scammers catch people out by imposing a time limit and dramatic consequences of not acting fast enough. In that moment of panic, you might not figure out it's suspicious, especially when the email looks so real (it will have your screen-name in it to make it seem legit, but the request code will likely be identical to the one in this post, #40557035) and you're worried about both an impersonator AND losing your account.

If you get sent the above message, try to let your friend know through other ways (socials, etc) that they've been hacked. If you are ever worried, your best bet is to check Discord's website and ask for help through their support page, which has a section for hacked accounts.
