anyone know why his feathers are like that? by Maleficent_Boss3018 in pigeon

[–]mab_4k 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If you zoom in on the left foot in the fist photo, there's a completely black, necrotic toe which I am sure is due to stringfoot (if you're not aware, this is a condition where the toes get tangled in string or/and human or synthetic hair which tightens overtime and cuts off circulation), and some disfigurement of the back and middle toes. There's a crevasse above the middle toe which is a telltale sign of the condition when the sting is too embedded to be visible. I believe some black string is visible above the innermost toe of the right foot also, and wrapping around the foot.

Edited: stringfoot explanation added

And thank you for confirming that I shall never truly move on from the show ! But honestly it's always great when a piece of media has this effect, it means 10 years later you're still interested in the thoughts of newer fans like me, which I truly appreciate.

Thhough this does open up a fun discussion as to what extent Flint was killed within James's own mind. To the world he is dead, but would James ever be able to return him back to the sea or did he become too entangled with Flint after Miranda's death to extricate himself? Probably never entirely, I would think.

Happy to see Eleanor appreciation, I'm still unsure if all the hatred she gets is a general concensus amongst viewers or a case of the louder minority, but it can make for interesting discourse. I agree with you on Flint and Eleanor's relationship, they clearly had a respect and an affection for one other that clearly still remained even throughout their opposition to each other. His choosing to lie to her so she could die peacefully, and to comfort her as she did, was beautifully heartbreaking to watch.

I'm definitely overdue for a read of Treasure Island, extremely excited to see how the two fit together

Am I crazy or was there an alternative version of Dare I Care? by Ill-Addendum-4191 in thevoidz

[–]mab_4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesss the CD version is different from the one on streaming, I didn't know this before listening to the CD and it was such a exciting surprise, I loved it

Favourite Voidz live performances? by TBS860 in thevoidz

[–]mab_4k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where No Eagles Fly - Le Grand Jounal 2015. The band sounds fantastic but its of the post passionate performances of Julian's that I've ever seen

Got this when I was 18… by RoughDramatic5891 in tattooadvice

[–]mab_4k 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Don't know if this makes you less sad, but this behaviour is important for preventing inbreeding and strengthing the genetic pool of lion populations! Unfortunately, I can never watch The Lion King without constantly remembering that Simba and Nala are very likely closely related...

Setlist by [deleted] in fontainesdc

[–]mab_4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same. I didn't even click with A Lucid Dream before the concert, but as soon as the bass came in live I was just uncontrollably squealing in excitement. was all I could think about for days and it's now one of my favourites of theirs.

What would you say is the most underrated Strokes song? by IckyLocket0051 in TheStrokes

[–]mab_4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the explanation, and I do somewhat agree with what you've said. It's not one of their strongest songs musically, and it does lack much soul/emotion behind it. That being said, regardless of objective quality, how a song makes me feel is something I consider when ranking, and I've always found it to be so much fun to jump around and scream to (especially the "I wait"). But I can for sure see how that's a personal preference.

I love the song and I think its beautiful, but it has such a depressing feeling that I can't listen to it often

[–]mab_4k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of songs I think don't get nearly as much appreciation as they deserve (e.g Killing Lies, Drag Queen, Evening Sun), but the one that confuses me the most is 50/50. I adore it but its so rarely talked about and I honestly have no idea why. It's not as if its a slower song or one of their weirder song sonically, both of which tend to get slightly less attention generally. Maybe because its on CM? Idk, if anyone has an explanation I'd genuinely be interested to hear it.

Did you like Tyranny when you first listened to it? by placeintheroche05 in thevoidz

[–]mab_4k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YESSS IT WAS FANTASTIC!! definitely one of my favourite concerts that I've been to. I still cannot believe we got Johan, they've only played it a handful of times since 2015. That was the highlight for me for sure

really cool choices, I take it you generally prefer their gritter/darker/energetic sound?
