this new pokemon girl thatâs a tall lady with a half-lidded neutral expression is an attack on me;
any other fandom ever: I love this show but wish this character wasnât so problematic
artemis fowl fandom: if disney makes our rich, snobby trash boy a decent human being we will riot
Whenever the druid uses wild shape, at the end of the combat, every other player must make a perception check. If they fail, instead of the druid, they take a random animal of the same species on the rest of the adventure.
Bioware better give me a legit dwarf romance option in DA4. Iâve waited long enough I deserve my dwarf romance.

Hey fun fact: people get frightened a character they like might die. Watching live can be intense and scary, which makes it fun. How dare people express that theyâre afraid a character might die!?
That's not the problem. The problem is people saying Matt isn't being fair and attacking him. Getting invested is one thing. Getting mad at someone over it is another. The same thing happened with Molly, people claimed Matt was being unfair and they attacked him on twitter for weeks. It's bullshit and it needs to stop.
HEY FUN FACT: CHARACTERS DIE IN D&D. IT HAPPENS. DEAL WITH IT. JUST BECAUSE YOUâRE WATCHING IT DOESNâT MAKE IT LESS LIKELY.
technically arenât the people in fandoms that like intensely adore a villainous character and jump straight to another one when they appear also minions by definition
next time can you just come kill me in person it would be kinder
Is anyone else having trouble with the critical role tag? When I search it I get zero results

your assigned pokemon kin
your age + the day you were born x the month you were born
the total is your pokedex number
mine is Marowak
Campaign 2 has basically turned into Pillars of Eternity 2, hasnât it?
If the Boulder is not played by Dwayne Johnson in the live action adaptation we will literally have missed the greatest self reference opportunity ever.
FUN FACT
It's not easy streaming on a delay in a building you've never streamed from before. Also it's free so get your heads out of your collective asses.
to be completely fair, any sort of spell designed to create or destroy life is considered necromancy, including raise dead

That should settle the disagreements
Itâs so sad in âbug ID groupsâ how often someone shows a spider they already killed âjust to be safe,â like, you couldnât scoop it into a jar until you knew? And there just ARENâT any spiders dangerous enough that you have to kill them first. There is no spider that just up and kills you with a bite. Even the worldâs most venomous is only that dangerous if you have an unusual sensitivity to it or a heart condition. Nobody has died of a black widow in decades. People do the same shit with snakes and I do not get it. What do they think will happen if they fail to chop the head off every âdeadlyâ snake they see chilling outside? Itâs gonna teleport into their house and murder them? What about all the ones living in the area that they just didnât happen to see? Whatâs the difference? Death penalty for daring to accidentally enter a humanâs line of sight? âWehhhhh I have kids and dogsâ well maybe you should monitor them when theyâre outside if you live where there might be deadly wildlife, genius
Iâve politely explained the danger level of spiders to probably hundreds of people but never have I just been instablocked for it with no further explanation, that is a new one the hostility in the comments on this is unreal in places and honestly really saddening

PREACH!!!
For reals,
1) Almost everybody I know who thinks every spider they see could be a brown recluse has no idea what a brown recluse actually looks like. Usually, they see a wolf spider and freak out. First off, if you SEE IT, especially during the day, and ESPECIALLY out in the open, IT IS NOT A BROWN RECLUSE. They are called recluses for a reason. I saw my first brown recluses in April, when I was out in the middle of the desert, with a bunch of actual entomologists, and they specifically went looking for them. We found a few with a black widow under a rotting log. They are small. They are NOT actually brown (in my opinion). They are so shy it was hard to even photograph them.
This is an actual brown recluse, minding her own business and just wanting to be left alone.
But she looks HUGE, you say? Well, under the log, there was also a dead one I could easily pick up:
The way to identify brown recluses: count their eyes. They have three pairs of two eyes (six total). Hereâs a super crappy âenhanceâ for you:
This eye pattern is unique to brown recluses.
2. It is impossible to identify a spider based on a âbiteâ or other injury. If you go to the doctor and are told you have a spider bite? Get a new doctor because they donât know what theyâre talking about. But your cousin got bit by a brown recluse and half her leg rotted off and she almost died? Sounds like she actually had a staph infection, unless she saw a brown recluse, identified correctly, with her own eyes, in which case, okay fine, she got bit by a brown recluse. And then got a staph infection which caused all her problems.
3. RE: snakes â DO NOT TRY TO KILL A VENOMOUS SNAKE. Worried about your safety? Thatâs fine! All you have to do is NOT TRY TO KILL VENOMOUS SNAKES. Want to know why Iâm yelling this? Itâs not just because Iâm a bleeding heart dirty hippie naturalist. Itâs also because almost every snake bite happens when somebody TRIES TO KILL A VENOMOUS SNAKE. But donât take my word for it! Check out this quote from National Geographic [link]
I donât know how widespread this news story was, but fairly recently, a man in Corpus Christi, TX killed a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake then proceeded to bite the man. The man had to get 26 doses of antivenom and he still almost died. If you see a dangerous animal that can kill you, WHY ARE YOU APPROACHING IT FOR ANY REASON? Do you also run at mountain lions with a shovel???
And again, as with the brown recluse, most people couldnât recognize a venomous snake if they needed to. I am getting real tired of my neighbors freaking out and sending emergency alerts to the entire neighborhood warning everyone about the plague of rattlesnakes we apparently have, and include photos of mutilated garter snakes. These same people complain about seeing bugs, lizards, and mice in their yard/garage and have an exterminator poison everything. HEY maybe you wouldnât need an exterminator if you hadnât KILLED ALL THE SNAKES who eat bugs, lizards, and mice.
Hereâs the first (and so far, only) Coral Snake I ever saw. It was at a nature sanctuary during a family nature day I was doing outreach for. One of the kids saw it in the woods, told everybody at the tabling area, and everybody dropped everything to come watch. This Coral Snake was eating another snake (probably an earthsnake). Coral Snakes are venomous. Does that mean they are dangerous and you should kill every one you see? NO. Heard the shock tactic stories about how no hospital carries coral snake antivenom anymore and therefore if you get bit by one you will die and therefore you should kill every one you see? NO!!! We all stood a respectful distance away from the snake, admired her, and let her eat her lunch in peace. Nobody was at a risk of getting bit. And neither are you because Coral Snake fangs are so far back in their mouths you could only get bit if you literally stuck your finger down oneâs throat.Â
If youâve never seen a snake in the wild, there is one thing you should know: They do not want to be near you. I am not super lucky with seeing snakes. I only saw my first large snake in the wild this spring. And I only saw it because it was trying to get away from me the second it saw a human was nearby.
Here is a beautiful Plain-bellied Watersnake, completely harmless. Sweet thing swam into the creek and hid under a pile of wood.
You are only in danger of getting bit by snakes in two situations. The first being, youâre trying to kill it (donât). The second being, you surprise it and it attacks because itâs terrified of you. So, just donât surprise snakes. If youâre going to tramp through tall grasses, make a bunch of noise. Walk slowly. Donât put your feet anywhere you canât see them. Still afraid? Then donât walk in tall grass. The end.
Obviously, I have opinions about this. Itâs fine to be afraid of animals. But that doesnât mean itâs okay to kill them, especially when they are dangerous and could hurt you when you approach. Just leave them alone. If you donât want a snake in your yard, call the snake removal person. I guarantee there is one in your neighborhood or nearby. On rare occasions a snake showed up at my house when I was a kid, my snake-phobic mom would have me put it in the neighborâs yard. I scooped it up with a bucket, and took it next door. Itâs not that hard!Â
