idk how this looks on the phone, godspeed

Bonus tiny blep

This Istanbul house was built in four historical eras

First floor: columns from Eastern Roman (Byzantine) era.

Second floor: archs from "again" Eastern Roman era.

Third floor: stonewalls from Ottoman Empire era.

Because they show up any place suitably fancy, they show up in the wizard's tower and start organizing the books and cleaning out the cupboards of reagents. Even dungeons that have too much class run the risk of attracting a small pack of maids who'll clean the place up and make it- shudder- livable. Totally ruins the use of a dungeon.

Nobody hires them. Nobody lets them in. But once a pack of maids are established, you can't be rid of them. The ones inside let in others. Money or goods disappear like a hidden tax. Carefully hoarded supplies get turned into fancy meals and clothes, whether they were supposed to be used that way or not. Every barracks is as plain as possible to try to avoid summoning such a curse.

this rest of the thread continues after the third tweet from the reblog.

like THE FULL THREAD is genuinely so reassuring.

sometimes, it is not enough to just know, sometimes you might need that reassurance of "do you really think of me when i'm away?" and someone reassuring you that yeah, they do. and evaluate that! trust that! just like op did.

and then learning that ykw, it's NOT any of my business really. and finding comfort in that trust that like. whether they are or aren't thinking of me, they really do love me.

Aardwolves at the Nashville Zoo

Aardwolves are among the most elusive animals on earth, rarely seen in the wild and almost unheard of in U.S. zoos. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome two pups that guests can meet beginning Friday, Sept. 5 in the nursery at our HCA Healthcare Veterinary Center. These 14-week-old pups were born at Safari Wild Animal Park & Preserve in Mississippi and came to Nashville Zoo for specialized care. Our team is nationally recognized for raising rare carnivores, having successfully cared for more than 45 clouded leopard cubs over the past 30 years. That same expertise is now helping us provide the care these unique pups need to thrive. So, what exactly is an aardwolf? These nocturnal animals are the smallest members of the hyena family, marked by striking stripes and a mane that stands on end when threatened. Unlike other hyenas, aardwolves don’t hunt large prey. Instead, they specialize in eating termites, sometimes licking up to 300,000 in a single night with their sticky tongues! The aardwolf pups join a baby boom at our nursery, which also includes three clouded leopard cubs and a spotted fanaloka kit born on Aug. 24. With only a handful of aardwolves in U.S. zoos, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet and learn about a species most people have never encountered before.
