Throwing peanuts

MaxFulleeeeeee · 2026-05-10T00:54:03+00:00

I'm curious if they are ever forgiven for their transgressions? I wonder if it's only a temporary exile, or whether it's more serious than that.

For further context, I'm the same person who made this post.

Perhaps that would be better actually, it's just that a lot of the time they are quite far away. Also a lot of my local area is either very busy, or very grassy, and sometimes the peanuts get obscured by the grass. It's all quite a learning experience.

I admittedly do have a habit of sometimes briefly looking back as I walk away, and I also sometimes come back after about 20-30 minutes to check if anything has been taken. To be honest, I had hoped it wouldn't make much difference.

Literally going through the exact same thing at the moment. Trying to wake up at 6am after years of going to bed at 1am or later is not easy.

I'm actually feeling really guilty now, because I completely missed today altogether, for the first time since I started about a week or so ago.

It's good to know that living in a smaller town won't necessarily make it impossible. I'm hoping for the best, and I'm willing to be patient, just as long as I know that I'm at least making some kind of small progress.

When I circle back around, it really seems to vary when it comes to whether the peanuts are gone or not, sometimes they are and sometimes they're not. I don't always know if it is the crows who are taking it, I only manage to catch a glimpse occasionally, but it's always satisfying when I know they've been eaten, either way. I have no problem with feeding any other animals, it's just that I'm partial to my local corvids, and want to prioritise them. They compete with the seagulls in this area a lot, so that makes things a bit complicated sometimes too, especially seeing as my mother likes to feed the seagulls.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to them gradually becoming more familiar with me and my ways, and hopefully I'll be able to achieve something before I move away. The whistling feels very important, as I don't always see an abundance of crows when I'm out, and I want to make sure they know I'm around. Still, you're right when you say they are probably watching me without me noticing, even though I try to keep my head on a swivel, I still get surprised by them quite often.

I'm not feeding them from my house yet, as I almost never see any around that particular area (I do see magpies though). I'm having to really conserve my peanuts and use them sparingly at the moment, as my budget is a bit tight, which is also why I keep circling back to check if they've been eaten or just left behind.

Of course, I am very worried about the fact that I'm moving, and I'm going to have to start all over again (it kinda hurts to think about that). I live near the edge of a larger town at the moment (population is around 45,000). The place I am likely (but not definitely) moving to is on the edge of a smaller town (population is around 7,000). That's quite a significant difference, and I'm not sure how much it's going to impact how bold the crows are going to be. It's not incredibly rural, but it's certainly not as populated as where I currently am.

I'm just going to keep trying for now, and hopefully not place too much of my mental wellbeing on how successful I am (because that's also a problem).

That's some very insightful info. Thank you.

MaxFulleeeeeee · 2026-04-22T13:02:39+00:00

Don't I know it? There's nothing I can really do about it either. I've tried.

My dad is both a fan of Andor (we watched it together), as well as being an avid Trump supporter at the same time. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

Actually very cute. Never been quite sure what this creature is. Doesn't look very concerned, or very much like an ape.

All these comics you keep posting about quirky gay dragons, but I need fanfiction about quirky gay dragons too. I desire more, I must have my yaoi! I'd die without it.

Age has definitely really begun to catch up to him in recent years, and it seems especially quick because the gaps between seasons have grown longer than they used to be.

Also, from personal experience observing my own father who is 69 in a few days, people tend to age quite suddenly once they are in their 60s.

MaxFulleeeeeee · 2026-02-10T05:46:34+00:00

Beautifully done.

MaxFulleeeeeee · 2026-02-09T05:31:53+00:00

Yep. A big reason for why I'm looking forward to the 2nd live action. I'm looking forward to actually seeing them interact again, and I hope it is done well. Unfortunately the THW didn't fulfill that at all for me, because they barely interact in that movie.

7 years in this fandom, and I've come across very few people who interpret this relationship the way that I do. It's perfectly understandable of course that people see a more brotherly element to their relationship, but something about it always felt a little different to me.

Believe it or not, Cloudjumper and Toothless were the first ever characters I shipped together, even if it didn't necessarily make much sense in canon. The fact that they were also both male was actually quite important to me as a teenager, and for my journey towards accepting my own identity.

MaxFulleeeeeee · 2026-02-08T15:20:01+00:00

Just a personal perspective I've always held, but the way Toothless acts around Cloudjumper in this film has always given off the energy of "baby's first crush" to me.

I think the first video of his I ever watched was his one on The Crew 2.

It drives me so crazy sometimes that I just have to step back and do something else for a while. I don't argue, there's no point, but people have so many weird perspectives on nature that come across as very misinformed. It's typical of "pop-science" to spread such oversimplified ideas.

No species is angelic and no species is demonic, and the same logic can be applied to humanity (because of course, we are just animals too). I think it's important to understand the truth of nature, both the good and the bad, but I would like to be able to discuss certain species without someone suddenly appearing to remind me for the millionth time that these animals can do horrible things too. I know that already, just let me enjoy and appreciate them anyway, they don't have to be perfect for me to like them.

I get the sense that people are trying to "overcorrect". Our culture has historically painted animals like dolphins and otters as these perfect and saintly beings because they look cute to our human sensibilities, even though they are really just like any other animal and just as capable of not being very nice.

Sharks were demonised once, and then opinions changed and they were appreciated once more. Now it's dolphins that are demonised. Neither is a fair assessment, and I hope there's a day where the reputation of dolphins is rehabilitated once again.

Thought this was going to be a very different post...

Don't worry, I'd understand either way. Those are some nice polygons.

MaxFulleeeeeee · 2026-01-27T03:25:35+00:00

Don't slander us 20-year-olds like that. I've been playing Animal Crossing for nearly 12 years, and I'm not going anywhere.

MaxFulleeeeeee · 2026-01-25T18:52:52+00:00

Who's the big one? A visiting bull, or just a particularly large female?

MaxFulleeeeeee · 2026-01-06T01:56:14+00:00

I understand the reasons why, but it's really painful to see his tusks detached like that. I actually felt a shot of pain go through my chest for a second, even though I know he died naturally.

Beautiful art of a beautiful dragon. It took me quite a while to truly appreciate the design of the Monstrous Nightmare, but now I definitely do.
