my mum was googling for an article about why everyone in the lord of the rings film is white (like to be clear she was annoyed by this) and the google ai was apparently like “everybody in the lord of the rings is not white. gandalf is grey.”
there aren’t enough posts going around about the swedish cryptid known as the skvader which is a rabbit with pheasant wings and also a very good boy.
like this one dude just made a fake taxidermy and spread it around as a hoax for a good ass while and it lead to this really cool fantasy creature and i am genuinely dissapointed that it never gets used in anything
Rabbirds, by the amazing @tkingfisher/Ursula Vernon (source).
The lack of skvaders is particularly frustrating when you realize it forms the third point of a wonderful cryptid trifecta.
You got the jackalopes, which are rabbits with antlers.
And you got the wolpertingers, which are rabbits with antlers and wings.
And then… what? Do you escalate? That’s unbalanced, those two rabbit cryptids don’t have the same number of extra things, the wolpertinger is clearly the jackalope But More.
BUT with the skvader on the other side, balance is restored. Antler rabbit, winged rabbit, winged antler rabbit. It’s a classic Venn diagram of imaginary lapine beasts, and it’s only complete if you acknowledge the fucking skvader.
Good thing Ursula’s got our back, at least.
This is a really excellent point and I applaud your advancements in Cryptid Theory.
Gentleman, if I might add:
yes you may add this
I think balance in crypdids is VERY IMPORTANT.

why did i think it was a good idea to make one of the characters a mathematician
i made up her up so she can only really know as much math as i know
Now I know why every other Stephen King protagonist is a professional novelist from Maine. Now I know.
went looking for a fic I remembered loving enough that some of the scenes have stuck with me for years, and it’s almost worse than being deleted to find that the author hid it into an unrevealed collection in addition to orphaning it, so like, it’s THERE, I just can’t ever read it again 😔
also i hope this whole thing puts to bed a lot of moronic left flavored only-true-in-certain-places conspiracy theories
"the world is actually run by the cia" it is in the cia's interest not to piss off the entire world, crash the economy, and remove all diplomats and global development staff members in the stupidest possible way. if the cia was running things they would have carefully shot a certain someone on the back of the head by now. they haven't. they aren't going to.
"the world is actually run by big businesses" if this was the case, they would have prevented the mad king from slashing $11 trillion off the stock market. the idea that this is an organized culling so big companies can swoop in and buy everything cheap belies the fact that big companies are seriously freaking out and begging him to rescind the tariffs. they can't justify building manufacturing plants in america. those don't spring up overnight, businesses don't know what the situation will be in four years, and at this point they probably cannot afford to build manufacturing plants because everything has a 50% upcharge on it overnight. every single living economist in the world, of every single political stripe, thinks this is fucking insane. and, as i have said before, elon has noticed by now that he's taken a $275 billion+ hit on his net worth and that it's going down by the minute, but he's not stopping because he isn't primarily driven by greed
"the US is secretly/outwardly run by israel" israel got hit with almost double the tariffs as the EU and their politicians are up on TV saying how shocked and betrayed they are and panicking because this is going to ruin their economy
"the democrats could have stopped this but are too feckless and weak" but we have established that the cia, the entire weight of the global financier/business class, israel, even saudi arabia or qatar if you want to add those vague conspiracies, can't do anything - how is the minority party going to make it happen (and they are attempting to do things, don't let anyone tell you different, but, as they are the minority party in a hyperpolarized 2-party system, that means nothing is going to happen without either massive electoral wins or the efforts of republicans)
turns out the US is run by people that are elected to run it. if certain insane or cowardly persons are elected, certain things will happen.
man remember that time in Netflix Marco Polo where they revealed that Ahmad accidentally fucked his mom
I miss that show, I would’ve gladly taken several more seasons of it!
