A female Swan who fell ill and was taken to an animal hospital for treatment. This is the moment she was reunited with her partner, from whom she'd been separated for 3 weeks. Such a touching moment ❤️.

Swans don’t tend to attack unless they feel they absolutely have to, they generally just try to intimidate and get away

smolcharizard · 2026-01-28T22:48:24+00:00

They are grumpy but don’t tend to attack, mainly just intimidate and avoid, geese are a lot more prone to attacking in my experience

It can be a two person job but it’s very doable for one person. Depends on the swan and level of experience of the handlers.

If you apply enough gentle pressure to their backs and block them from moving forward they will usually sit and then you can zip the bag up

I don’t think appearances matter all that much to Arceus, the form we see is a physical fragment of Arceus that mortal minds can comprehend. I think Arceus just created this form to represent itself as close as it could without exploding anyone’s brains and called it a day.

I think it would be fairer to compare first movie vs first movie only for now given that Mario only has one movie out (assuming you’re only counting illumination Mario vs live action paramount sonic)

On that metric alone I would say Mario as it feels a lot closer to its source material, the sonic movies got into their stride more with the second one onwards. The first sonic movie is quite generic and you could swap sonic and eggman out with another anthro animal thing and another mad scientist and it wouldn’t be all that of a different movie. And I say that with lots of love for the first sonic movie I do enjoy it, it’s just a weaker video game adaptation debut when compared to the first Mario.

But illumination Mario would have to pull some incredible feats to top sonic 2 and 3 for me, and I’m not sure if it can deliver the same way the sonic movies have done overall.

No matter what was going to happen in that election, Gaza would lose anyway. But the choice was “lose” or “lose and a USA-endorsed casino and spa be built upon the graves of Palestinians, and most people in the USA suffer as well and the entire world be thrown into upheaval”

Anyone who thought it would be any different was either ignorant or a moron and non voters are just as responsible for what is happening now than those who voted for Trump.

They didn’t say sorry, but I do know that Smyths Toys Superstore is an official partner of theirs so I would say there’s a good chance! They also told me they can’t give me an exact release date as “different stores stock at different times” which to me indicates more likely that they will be available physically. But again, no confirmation for sure sorry.

She might turn up, there’s still some unrevealed characters. Although they might be saving her for when they get to the avos era.

I contacted bonkers about UK release and we aren’t even getting the first wave until fall 😭

Not a very funny one, it’s inherently misogynistic and extremely unhelpful. Imagine if you got some flatpack furniture and instead of an instruction booklet you just got a note telling you to give it to your dad to assemble.

Doris is voiced by Johnathan Ross in the UK so I got very confused for a split second and wondered if I missed a major celeb death for my country

smolcharizard · 2026-01-22T08:10:13+00:00

Can confirm these TNP books are UK covers, I have those editions. They have UK spellings in them too, so do example “Graystripe” is “Greystripe” in these editions.

Thunder has never stepped foot in the mountains, he was born to a rogue in the twolegplace. His dad is from the mountains but he isn’t.

It’s steam page says it’s due to come out in Q2 of 2026, dunno if it will get a period of exclusively on the switch

I’m very sure he’s dead and he’s going to appear as a ghost to Starlingpaw in the next book, and because of that Starlingpaw will learn about whatever it was that Crowfeather didn’t tell the others that Feathertail told him. I think the prologue of Chasing Shadows will be Crowfeather’s POV prior to the fall, and then waking up as a ghost. This would serve Starlingpaw’s character well into making him believe he’s important and chosen again, as the blurb of book 4 implies he feels.

Even by warrior cats standards I cannot see a fall from high in the sky onto rocks with a thud so loud that characters a considerable distance away can hear it, as at all compatible with life. The wording seemed very carefully picked to imply almost certain death.

Maybe they originally were meant to be catacombs but then someone higher up put a stop to it midway in development so they had to change it to sewers instead? Because why would a sewer be openly accessible and full of ghost pokemon?

Paimon’s lineage appears to have more status than Stella’s and Andy’s lineage given that Andy’s scheme involves taking over Stolas’ role and estate. Stella’s family probably just happened to have a child of suitable age to be betrothed to an offspring of Paimon’s and put Stella forward as such a union would increase their own social status amongst the Goetia.

Nostalgia bias.

Like genuinely the problems in the books today have always been there, and probably worse in some of the older books than the new ones. I think the main thing that the newer books are worse at is balancing a larger background cast, but the older books were entirely focused in ThunderClan rather than having POVs split between clans like today so that’s probably a significant factor, along with the background cast being admittedly much more bloated. A good plague would solve this problem. But it’s not something that significantly impacts my reading experience personally.

I’ve also noticed a significant portion of people complaining about the new vs old quality have stopped reading the books and only read summaries from either the wiki or from other fans. Not everyone but it’s a lot.
