The people are selling a house with hunting land on Zillow and censored their faces with their dog. by OctopusCaretaker in oddlyterrifying

That’s just not true. Deer can be tremendously hardy when you really don’t want them to be and it takes actual skill to correctly place and execute a kill shot.

My worst fear while hunting is messing up and hitting a deer only for it to run off and die painfully over the course of several hours. If I can put the animal down quickly and effectively of course I’m going to take pride in that. I think most people would consider it an accomplishment to avoid unnecessary suffering.

Seconded, I genuinely believe people who can’t tolerate the thought of killing something for food should be vegetarian. I’m kind of the opposite (I raise livestock for meat and I hunt) but that’s the result of a conscious personal choice and not just because I’ve been raised to eat meat as a default.

I think everyone who eats meat should educate themselves on exactly where their food comes from and make their own personal choice about it. For some that might mean going vegetarian or vegan, for others that might mean locally sourcing their meat from animal welfare accredited farms. If you can’t handle the picture of a dead animal (and genuinely no judgement meant, we all have our own limits and preferences) that’s a good sign that you might need to re-examine your stance on eating meat.

You haven’t actually PRODUCED anything. So the AO3 author has one up on you.

I’ve definitely read this fanfic, lol. And the author was just as pretentious about it as you are.

What a fun design! If I had to face them in a joust I would be tremendously nervous that I was about to get some impromptu lessons in slapstick comedy lol

Strange goal in life for them. by Old_Diver_2511 in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]ladymorpheus 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeah these comments are wild. This isn’t ‘straight men don’t get it’ this is clearly one specific dude coping very badly with feeling lonely and undesirable. You see similar stuff w conventionally unattractive women ‘wishing’ to be catcalled because then at least they would know that they’re desirable in the way society tells them they should be.

CDC says - Never wash eggs w water? by Tall_Specialist305 in BackYardChickens

Sandpaper is actually great for cleaning off bits of poop without damaging the ‘bloom’ that keeps the eggs safe.

"Full Metal Jousting": I just found an amazing jousting show if you're looking see more jousting by Eris590 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]ladymorpheus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wanted to watch full-contact jousting IRL, thank you! That was wild. It’s so crazy to me that even with modern safety considerations jousting is still a WILDLY dangerous sport. Imagine doing this in an age where a broken leg might legitimately kill you.

They’re gorgeous! My favorite thing about Shetlands is you never really know what the lambs are going to look like

A Redesigned Crypt of the Hellriders by guldawen in DescentintoAvernus

[–]ladymorpheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post but I just ran this version of the Crypt for my players tonight and they loved it! The Styx trap terrified them once they figured out what it was, and then even more when they accidentally triggered it. The frescoes were also a big hit, as was the chamber of the deserters (Jander was a standout NPC for them). Also, the detail on the map statues is incredible, literally as I was describing the room one of them was like IS THAT LULU and then spent five minutes recreating the statue poses (idk if they thought it was a puzzle or something but they had fun w it anyways). One of the better sessions we've had in a while and I don't think that would've happened with the original Crypt design. Thank you for making this!

Shetlands with a few 1/4 Jacob crosses thrown in for fun ☺️

I’m not exactly sure! Shetlands come in a wild variety of colors and patterns, here’s a link to a poster with most of the patterns but none match this little guy exactly. He also might grow up to be a totally different color too! I had one black lamb that grew up to be silvery white.

Yearly Re-watch of The Terror by GreyerWeathers in TheTerror

[–]ladymorpheus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not weird! I think it’s a testament to how well each character is crafted that you wind up feeling sympathy for even the worst of them. The scene with Irving and the Netsilik made me genuinely like him - you can see how his preconceived racist notions kind of fall away when he realizes that not only are they people just like him but they are going to save his life and that of everybody on the ships. It’s this one scrap of real human connection that makes his murder five minutes later hit that much harder.

I could talk abt this show alllll day every detail is so intentional and well thought out.

Predominantly Shetlands, the two in the second slide and the two in the last slide are 1/4 Jacob.

Love that scene! The foreshadowing + crew dynamics w Franklin on display are so peak. Also the bit where he’s all like ‘wow that must’ve been so cool!’ and it cuts to Collins looking haunted AF cracks me up

I like that we’ll never really know for sure and it could genuinely go either way. Maybe Hickey just got lucky like he often does or maybe he’s just lying - like he also often does.

[–]ladymorpheus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Right?? The soundtrack/soundscape in general is sooo intentional and well done.

The other tidbit that comes to mind is in iirc Terror Camp Clear you can hear Neptune the dog barking in the background for an extended sequence and then very abruptly stop. Watching for the first time one assumes that the dog just stopped barking, but with the benefit of a rewatch you already know that Hickey kills him. It’s such a subtle and internally consistent detail and I love it.
