Hello!

And sometimes, you have a string of fandoms that are Actually Pretty Good. And the danger of this—the very great danger—is that when you have a string of Actually Pretty Good and even Actually Amazing obsessions, you start to believe that maybe you have taste. Perhaps you are now immune to the indignities of losing it over something mostly bad.

And frankly, it’s starting to really get on my nerves when people read “I think this thing is good. I wouldn’t change a thing about it and frankly I don’t even think there should be more canon added to it, but I am still going to write thousands of words of fic, make a cosplay, and draw fanart” and then completely misunderstand and respond with “yes I agree—I like things that are good too. But I never feel the transformative/creative fandom instinct for them because they are too good.”

compelling worldbuilding (invites interaction with the setting)

interesting gimmick (see: daemons, drift compatibility. subcategory of compelling worldbuilding)

shipping bait (duh)

original character bait (in-universe categories/factions and design elements that make it fun for people to create their own characters)

compelling narrative (invites interaction and tweaks to the storyline: AUs and fixits and so on)

basically anything that invites interaction and recombination. but fandom also has a sort of multiplying effect: the larger the interactive audience of fandom is, the more likely it is to generate ideas and works that draw in more participants. so:

Now i know these bitches are basic as fuck, and off, I'm taking abt the "majestic" peacock.

This is another photo i took

But. BUTT.

Im not talking abt those basic bitches. I'm talking abt the more beautiful ones.

The WHITE peacocks.

Now listen, they're not a different breed, i know that.

And i know that's they're usually misfortunes and rarely get partners, but just look at this bitches.

Tell me they're not more majestic than the regular peacocks.

And yes i know he's based off of a peacock, but he's an ice peacock, and imo, he's based off of a white peacock.

I mean,

Srs:

The majestic lord shen is also a white peacock

May I introduce you to the black shoulder?

I'm not sure if it's a breed or a pattern, but... wait hold on

White peafowl are not misfortunes. They are a leucistic mutation that plenty of people breed on purpose. When enclosed in a pen where the hens cannot see other, colored males, they will breed just fine.

IMO, as a peafowl breeder, the whites are... okay. The males are pretty enough in the late spring and summer, but they drop that train in the fall, and spend the fall and winter looking like dirty chickens. And I do mean that literally, the white gets muddy from fall, winter, and early spring muck when the weather gets gross/wet.

A pristine snowfall looks great, until it turns into this

To answer your question, @type-blaze0, there are no breeds of peafowl. There are a few species, and there are color/pattern mutations, and leucistic mutations (like white), but there are no breeds.

Blackshoulder is a pattern mutation.

As for Andrealphus, given the amount of peacock-blue in the design, I would suggest a silver pied peacock, over a white.

They tend to keep some of the blue neck (often concentrated in the front or back), while largely having white coloring over the rest of them, with minimal colored spotting.

But peafowl come in a variety of colors and patterns, not just blue or white. Purple, jade, midnight, black, cameo, opal, bronze... just to name a few.

Whites are... okay. But while at times (like the summer) some may consider a white peacock more majestic than the classic blues, whites are, I'm afraid, a basic bitch mutation, that pales in comparison to some of the others

Sorry, i'm used to chickens, who... one crossbreed can have twelve names depending on how and who you got it from. (See: red cross, redx, red star, cinnamon queen, golden comet all being some variation of rhode island (white, red) + ( plymouth, barred) rock

I KNEW THERE WERE PURPLE ONES, I JUST COULDN'T FIND THEM.

This shit is 100% not real. The color has been altered completely. That vibrant red does not exist in peafowl.

buuuuuut.... this was Earl last night

and this guy's colors are real

THIS orange is fake...

But this orange is real (a fresh, red train that's gotten wet)

Cultural significance of putting your minecraft bed next to someone else right. It's a signifier for being together. Someone places a bed down and you know what's about to go down. Hot minecraft sex

cause minecraft beds are inherently pickupable they're meant to be taken with you when you travel and Placing the bed is a sign of trust in the other person as someone you feel safe enough around to go to sleep, even moreso when they trust You enough to set their spawn right next to you

and for tons of servers that's the case right you meet you explore together you set spawns in each other's beds you find a quiet spot to build a base and you put your beds together

and it makes for great drama when your minecraft partner spawns from someone's else's bed, and you chuck their bed into an open fire

So the action of Building those beds into One. Listen to me. What

Linking your spawns together. A direct implication that your space is one and the same Making sure wherever or however you go down you will Always find each other again. insane!
