Why does he look like that. I can’t even tell what I’m looking at

pel @pel.bsky.social · 3h

The way it scampers around. I cannot stay mad.

Hey folks! Ive gotten an astonishing amount of support on this and I've been able to pay off 46% of this debt so far! Sadly im still way in the red with the huge monthly payments rn and struggling to get by. I could still really use some help with this awful tax situation <3

I knew there were some animals we call badgers that are more closely related to skunks, but I didn’t realize just how broad the group of animals we call “badgers” is. The American badger is not very closely related to European badgers, and is also the most basal species of mustelid.

Phylogeny is my favorite subject because it’s like an adventure game where I’m always finding or re-finding new things even in areas I thought I knew like the back of my hand. Today I learned mustelid badgers are a fully polyphyletic grouping distributed across 4 subfamilies.

An engraving of the striped polecat by Thomas Lord Busby in 1810, and the same animal illustrated by John Anderson in 1902.

An engraving of a striped polecat by Thomas Lord Busby in 1810. It’s awful.

A striped polecat, mislabeled, but the same animal illustrated by John Anderson in 1902. It’s lovely.

I was drawing ponies like they are literally tiny scampering critters

I was so into honse

Haha I know!! There was one dude really taking advantage of it too… he was trying to get in with all the popular MLP artists so he commissioned over 200 of those $1 bouncy pixel gifs. I was just grateful because it paid for a plane ticket to see my long distance gf.

Nice!! I don’t blame you for pursuing that with intention, very satisfying set of traits. All my main characters tend to be informal shapeshifters or at least have a few context-dependent options. One of Pel’s forms is ferrin!

Found an old graphic showcasing the very first comms I ever advertised. I had gotten an iPad for Christmas I was trying to use as a graphics tablet, and was just starting to make my way into digital art

Were you completing some kind of obscure speedrunning challenge or ??

Then I put them in a game and make you collect them and fill out a compendium

I think it would be ideal to have 200 fursonas

Were they seriously cutting hair like this in 1948
