Does Tumblr Know About The Animation Union Yaoi Yet

when ur talking abt headcanons w/ ur friend and they start typing for a really long time

me greeting everyone with all the joy i can muster

"Eww they made him a twink..."

My brother in christ, my man hasn't eaten anything in centuries and woke up from a long coma then turned himself into human form, his body isn't going to be ripped asf. He's weak and tired all the time, he's barely surviving off of the forage when his cooking skills aren't the best aswell. Game made it very clear that Caldarus is exhausted, ill even, we can see that from his dialogue just as his portraits!

especially that one;

if you'll look closely he lacks a lot of body fat, you can see his ribcage peeking out.

overall i think they did good job, i also was disappointed at first but man... i love caldarus a lot. Please be kind to this dragon ❤️❤️‍🩹❤️

(I also hope they will edit his portraits slightly when you marry him, to show that he's much more healthy now. Or atleast when more seals are broken in the mines, and when yall date oughh)

what could’ve been

To anyone who follows me, I don't care about nor trust Colossal Biosciences anymore (The people behind the "Wooly Mice"). They have proven themselves to be headline-chasing grifters after this latest stunt. They are claiming to have de-extincted *Aenocyon dirus*, aka the Dire Wolf, by editing just 20 genes from the the DNA of a Grey Wolf (*Canis lupus*) to make this thing:

If it wasn't clear from their scientific names, Grey Wolves and Dire Wolves aren't remotely related to one another aside from being Canids, despite what pop culture like Game of Thrones would have you believe. If they did look like each other, it would have had to be via convergent evolution, as they only shared a common ancestor over 5 million years ago.

This distinction, however, isn't found in the publicized articles about this so-called resurrected Dire Wolf and makes their claim that they brought the Dire Wolf back by simply editing *20* genes from the genome of a Grey Wolf laughable. A Dire Wolf would have shared more in common genetically with a Maned Wolf (*Chrysocyon brachyurus*) or Bush Dog (*Speothos venaticus*) than it would with a Grey Wolf.

Bottom line, don't fall for whatever this company is trying to tell you. If the Dire Wolf were to be brought back, it wouldn't be via something like this, and certainly wouldn't *look* like this. If you want an idea as to how a real Dire Wolf would look like in life, here is some fantastic paleoart by artist Mauricio Antón:

Addendum: I seem to have partially miscalculated Dire Wolf genetics. They were not closer to Maned Wolves or Bush Dogs, but they were still not closely related to Grey Wolves. They were basal members of Canini, related to canids like Jackals (genus Lupulella) but distinct from them. I am sorry for this misinformation in my attempt to correct other misinformation. My main point, however, is still correct.

Also I've said this before but advertising is an industry that should be considered as pointless and harmful as fossil fuels.

time to get a delicious tea drink from my favorite crone, boba yaga

you will live and you will say the wrong things and make mistakes and people will love you anyways.
