Maybe we (me and Netherlands) both have autism spectrum🥲
For me (and Port) being easy going and loving to tease.
in case you were wondering why there needs to be better animal cruelty and welfare awareness for even something as niche as pigeons:
this is an American Fantail. they’re a popular breed among older pigeon-keepers who want a ‘challenge.’ this bird is not just posing like this, it cannot move its head far from where it is in this picture. this is NOT a similar situation to Seramas (who set up to look Like That, and are overall pretty normal-looking chickens), this bird is just tragically deformed
this is a posed skeleton of an American Fantail with the breed standard drawing overlaid. i’ve seen these birds at shows. they can barely move and they jump at every noise because they cannot see what could be coming at them. they’re either skittish or completely shut down, and watching them try to get food is just heartbreaking (they have to turn sideways and swing their head down their tail to peck at their seed. i don’t know how they even manage to drink). sometimes when the try to walk to their food they nearly fall over because their tip-toes stance is what they’re like a majority of the time and their fan is heavy enough that they can barely support it with such delicate balance
the kicker is, people are fascinated by these birds. they marvel in how such a monstrosity is alive and want to try their hand at raising fantails themselves, because that’s what the experts do! these are the bird that everyone chooses to point out as a marvel of artificial selection, but anyone who has been around pigeons for any stretch of time knows that they are intelligent, social birds. they rely on nodding to communicate a large portion of their language, and guess what an American Fantail can’t do?
of the issues with animal welfare in bird breeding, the problem with American Fantails is one of the clearest ones with which to illustrate just how little some people care for animals. people breeding these birds are not beginners who don’t know better, they are people who have been raising pigeons for 10, 20, 50 years and got bored with birds who can function. the people who breed birds like the American Fantail view pigeons as disposable, as something not to care for but to shape as you want to create an extreme caricature of an animal. the Jacobin, Zitterhall, and Modena are also examples of this, but no breeder is as proud of himself for perpetuating an animal that cannot function as an American Fantail breeder
Yay

hi!!! what are your favorite hetalia characters/ships? do you have any favorite art you have done for them?
-@iron--and--blood
ITS YOUU HI
Might come off as shockingly obvious, but my two forever favourites are Prussia and Austria. Austria more than Prussia, I have to admit I easily fall for that type of character. This goes hand in hand with my favourite ship being them together. I also like fruk a normal amount, though I don't recall ever drawing them, mostly because I can never get Arthur right.
As for drawings these are my current faves:
Historical hetalia my beloved
💜Considering the international shipping price (we're from Mexico), how much would you pay for two acrylic keychains of your fav Hetalia ship?
💜And most importantly which Hetalia ship is your favorite (s)?
@heta-on-the-books @hetaliahappenings @hetaliacalendar please? 🥺
fun facts about my San Marino OC:
•she has often played the monatto (the people who took in the seriously ill and those who died of the plague or other plagues) the vision of death is no longer a drama for her
•religious like few others
• she can speak Latin (more to speak to herself out loud without anyone understanding)
•if his quiff is pulled you find yourself with a gun pointed at your forehead
• the girl is very strong. In addition to lifting the dead, she was a stonebreaker.
• knows how to ride sports bikes (probably her little brother Nord was influenced by her)
• she has a large collection of stamps and she also made them
• she knows a lot about witchcraft and the like
• she has been convicted more than once, she has to wear the Nibbler (look it up on Wikipedia please) which is why she has a hole in her tongue
