I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.

Yessss so.

Shen Yuan was a huge hater (fan) of a novel series (that amounted to a great pile) he had randomly found, which was the modern re-telling of "Proud Immortal Demon Way". After suffering some fatal blow, he woke up in the 17 year old body of Shen Qingqiu (I'm doing a lot of canon divergence lol). Shen Qingqiu is a prodigy and young Shizun of Qing Jing Peak boarding school. Luo Binghe had gotten there a few years earlier and people just let Shen Qingqiu mistreat him cuz they didn't want to lose such a talented young man/ruin his career. However, after Shen Qingqiu suffered a head trauma from a spar with Binghe, the young Shizun went into a coma. After a few days, he wakes up and is basically completely different. This new Shizun is far more modest, talented, and kind than their old one (Shen Yuan comes from a wealthy noble family like in canon, so he's educated on the six arts and confucian principles). Doctors are writing it off as personality-altering brain trauma with a dash of savant syndrome. However, our ever perceptive Binghe somehow gets to the real conclusion himself (this world DOES have magic, it just isn't as in your face as canon)

In this new life, Shen Yuan has a really hard time adapting. A lot of the skills he was taught growing up don't really help him much in the modern world; additionally, because he's from a comfortable background, there are a lot of issues that arise for him. He doesn't know how to style short hair, or how to properly dress himself in modern attire, and has a hard time stomaching modern food. Binghe quickly makes up for these hardships by styling Shen Yuan's hair, helping him with a traditional/modern wardrobe, and cooking all of his meals for him.

US Political and Military Interventions since 1945 The US has launched a series of military and political interventions since 1945, often to install puppet regimes, or alternatively to engage in political actions such as smear campaigns, sponsoring or targeting opposition political groups (depending on how they served US interests), undermining political parties, sabotage and terror campaigns, and so forth.

US Perversions of Foreign Elections The US has specifically intervened to rig or distort the outcome of foreign elections, and sometimes engineered sham “demonstration” elections to ward off accusations of government repression in allied nations in the US sphere of influence. These sham elections have often installed or maintained in power repressive dictators who have victimized their populations. Such practices have occurred in nations such as:

Philippines (1950s) 

Italy (1948-1970s) 

Lebanon (1950s) 

Indonesia (1955) 

Vietnam (1955)

US Versus World at the United Nations The US has repeatedly acted to undermine peace and human rights initiatives at the United Nations, routinely voting against hundreds of UN resolutions and treaties. The US easily has the worst record of any nation on not supporting UN treaties. In almost all of its hundreds of “no” votes, the US was the “sole” nation to vote no (among the 100-130 nations that usually vote), and among only 1 or 2 other nations voting no the rest of the time.

Other Lethal US Interventions CIA Terror Training Manuals Development and distribution of training manuals for foreign military personnel or foreign nationals, including instructions on assassination, subversion, sabotage, population control, torture, repression, psychological torture, death squads, etc.

Specific Torture Campaigns Creation and launching of direct US campaigns to support torture as an instrument of terror and social control for governments in Greece, Iran, Vietnam, Bolivia, Uruguay, Brazil, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Panama

Supporting and Harboring Terrorists The promotion, protection, arming or equipping of terrorists such as:

Klaus Barbie and other German Nazis, and Italian and Japanese fascists, after WW II

Manual Noriega (Panama), Saddam Hussein (Iraq), Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic), Osama bin Laden (Afghanistan), and others whose terrorism has come back to haunt us

Running the Higher War College (Brazil) and first School of the Americas (Panama), which gave US training to repressors, death squad members, and torturers (the second School of the Americas is still running at Ft. Benning GA)

Providing asylum for Cuban, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Haitian, Chilean, Argentinian, Iranian, South Vietnamese and other terrorists, dictators, and torturers

Assassinating World Leaders Using assassination as a tool of foreign policy, wherein the CIA has initiated assassination attempts against at least 40 foreign heads of state (some several times) in the last 50 years, a number of which have been successful, such as: Patrice Lumumba (Congo), Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic), Ngo Dihn Diem (Vietnam) Salvador Allende (Chile)

Arms Trade & US Military Presence

The US is the world’s largest seller of weapons abroad, arming dictators, militaries, and terrorists that repress or victimize their populations, and fueling scores of violent conflicts around the globe

The US is the world’s largest provider of live land mines which, even in peacetime, kill or injure at least several people around the world each day

The US has military bases in at least 50 nations around the world, which have led to frequent victimization of local populations.

The US military has been bombing one Middle Eastern or Muslim nation or another almost continuously since 1983, including Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Iran, the Sudan, Afghanistan, and Iraq (almost daily bombings since 1991)

This, then, is a sampling of American foreign policies over the last 50 years. The FBI uses the following definition for Terrorism: “The unlawful use of force or violence committed by a group or individual, who has some connection to a foreign power or whose activities transcend national boundaries, against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.” This sounds like the terrorism we just experienced. It also sounds a lot like the US policies and actions since 1945 that I’ve just described.

POV: Your attempted coup didn’t even get to glance at the front door before the Northern Consort fucking Got You.

There’s just something REALLY fun about sqh getting to be really, stupidly menacing but ONLY when there will be no witnesses to it.

He's like an entity. You're either wary of him and proven right but he hits you so fast that you don't even get to relish the "Ha! I was right!" moment, you're dead. Or when his nervous lil smile drops and he straightens his shoulder to a confident stride, you do a double take wondering if he was always this tall— before you even realize that you should have been wary, you're dead.

Mobei Jun's enemies drop like flies, the court thins and the demons, although unable to pinpoint "why", instinctively flinch away when The Consort looks at them with interest.

what's left to fear?

Ace’s other reached for the straw hat hanging by the door—Luffy’s hat, the one Ace had worn every day since the funeral, its brim perpetually damp with sea spray and unshed tears. The hat settled low over Ace’s eyes, casting his face in shadow as he paused at the threshold. For a heartbeat, Sabo saw the ghost of their little brother superimposed over Ace’s silhouette—the way Luffy used to stand in doorways, bouncing on his heels, begging them to hurry up already! Then the moment shattered. Ace stepped into the hallway without looking back. Sabo’s knees hit the floor beside the abandoned mirror sketch.

gotta love when a scene from a fanfic haunts me so much that I just HAVE to draw it— anyhow, here's a scene from Now That the Worst Has Happened, What Is Left to Fear? by wavesagne on AO3 (it's the ending of chapter 5, so spoilers?)

close ups under the cut:

This isn't quite that but how about this:

I used a Men of Letters (that's a Supernatural reference) spell to let Rocks escape God Valley and send him about 30 years into the future.

Deep conversations

I was asked what kind of things Ace talked to Luffy about based on this comic where he first speaks to Crocodile.

can't stop thinking about crocodad..
