part 363 paper snowflakes

It's... December! I can't believe it's almost the end of another year. Time is weird. Anyway! There's been a lot of neato Hetalia news in the meantime! That game (that I can't get working but will look at videos and screencaps of so I can play vicariously)! The image of the first doll! The musical promo images!! What are you most excited for?

Enjoy part 363!

Re: ask an anon studying museology

there was actually a recent controversy like that! maybe you heard about it - there was a researcher from the American Museum of Natural History that killed & collected the first male mustached kingfisher observed by science and people got REALLLLY upset (even tho the bird population is doing well & considered common in its own habitat it's just rare to science). it engendered a big discussion about the necessity of specimen collecting but the scientists argued that a species has never gone extinct or been critically threatened solely due to specimen collection but idk. when it's the last animal ever, i'd feel better that it was preserved but it still makes me sad

similarly, i read about how a museum in England created a sort of faux taxidermy of a dodo after the dodo was extinct using (illegally collected) swan feathers

haha! i don't recall ever being around it when i was little, but around age ~15 i got to see some of the brilliant stuff they have at Cabela's, ignoring everything else about that place, their taxidermy is really great. Her stuff sounds really cool! and kinda quirky!

It's like DO NOT FEED THE WILDLIFE.

DO NOT PICK UP AUSTRALIA.

IF YOU DO PICK UP AUSTRALIA DO NOT BE ON TOP, HE HAS A LOT OF STAMINA AND YOU WILL GET THE WORST SUNBURN OF YOUR LIFE.

I expect FFnet's purges would've got it for explicit content, especially if there was bdsm.

Yep!! It'll apparently be completely legible, too, no fake scribbletext like the pages on the show! Ooooh an artbook would be fantastic!!

Also I just found these bonus shorts and I'm laughing so hard omg hirsch you madman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMBk0qDOJCs&index=1&list=PLqu1KOkjaPsbmNw-5gVV8msSUkyonwTwK

Yeah, I'd like them to fix the Cluster and then meet homeworld gems safely elsewhere. :'D Lapis has potential to rejoin the team, but Jasper was already pretty bad and now is starting to go a little crazy... I don't have high hopes for her :'D

I'm cackling at the stamina part; those poor European nations who try and sleep with Australia won't stand a chance.

Wait I found it! It's listed when you search Australia and Taiwan together. Huh, Vietnam's still in it but I thought she was tagged instead.

... Well that's another way to describe Australia's dick. All this talk about tentacles makes me wonder how he'll run into tentacles.

Also Australia meeting Tony the alien and said alien doing... 'experiments' on him because America keeps declining or something. (Just remembered that one picture of yours)

I didn't know what you meant and then google opened my eyes to this glory

Yes

I know there was a Santa horror movie too. This should be a thing. I mean why stop right?

Zombie snowmen apocalypse.

Revenge of the Nutcracker (On Ice!)

Gingerbread men FROM HELL

Invasion of the Body-Snatching Ugly Christmas Sweaters

I know that there's an evil Gingerbread man movie, for sure, plus a handful of evil Santas. Krampus is sure to be a romp...us.

Omg yessss. Have you seen any of these holiday horrors? Were they good, or kind snakes on a plane effect where the premise is more fun than the execution?

I'll check it out, definitely an unusual combination!

I'm sure Tony has some tentacles to spare. Probably a whole tentacle plant garden in his spaceship. As well as sundry other equipment...

Man I should draw more fucking machine porn. For me, tentacles and fucking machines have much the same appeal in the sense of being inhuman, merciless, implacable impossible to beg or threaten or reason with... and you can't be sure it'd know enough to even keep you alive (unlike, presumably, a human tormentor whose motives you could at least hope to understand and attempt to sway)

Drifting off to bed now as I'm getting a bit sleepy, but thanks for the chat! :D See you around

I think I vaguely remember something like that... though I was referring to a section in Bill Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything (which is a great read!) Yyyeah I think if it was captured and studied, then let free again, it wouldn't've been better. Especially since the species isn't actually dying out, just elusive?? Like take a picture, it'll last longer and get fewer people all mad...

I read the wikipedia page on dodos after responding to you, since we were talking bout them at lunch. Sad that no complete real specimens exist! And... couldn't they have just... bought non-illegal feathers... Especially since dodos have been found to be related to pigeons.

There's a big collection at a local college, for some reason the ymca thought it'd be a stellar activity to take a bunch of small children there. Hooray, dead animals, sometimes with morbid death stories! Y'know, for kids! Haha anyway yeah, her work was cool and quirky! And confused everyone who came near it, haha.

Even better, I can't believe I hadn't heard of this! :D

...I would bet you if they actually sold the props from the fake advertisements people who really pay $300 for a jar of plastic eyeballs haha

I wonder what Hirsch will do next. I'll definitely check out any future series he works on.

I'm sure they'll save Lapis... though it'd also be kind of cool if Lapis sacrifices herself somehow to aid the destruction of the cluster, like forcing the Lapis/Jasper fusion into a kamikaze attack. So far the series has been very much warm fuzzies even when more dramatic shit goes down, but given the Rose backstory we also know that permadeath isn't an untouchable subject for SU...

I'm off to bed, thanks so much for chatting with me! :D See you around

I haven't seen too many! I've seen, uh, I forget the name. That foreign film about Santas who are like wild men, captured and made into St. Nicholases? Something like that. There's also a tales from the crypt episode that is wonderful.

I'm sure some are quite silly... remember that evil turkey movie?
