A New Manner Of Beast, They Need A Naaaame 

😍😍BABY LEGOSI🐺

god im going to be fucking hallucinating this video for months ok there’s just so much to this to break down

the initial fact they’re talking through a hand puppet with the oobi eyes 

the horrible, horrible desynch between their words and the movements of the hand 

lack of any clear place the hand is looking 

“dwells in the depths”. just the whole sentence itself and the weird inflection on it.

the fact that the dude clearly already discovered this thing and was so moved by it they went to record it 

“wuoah”, and the split second of open-palmed hand that no longer resembles a puppet 

the weird fade in on the music and the fact it sounds a little distorted at first 

the very specific but undefinable emotion conveyed by the music 

the inconsistent zoom 

B-big, big, him big...

#Now that you mention it…

It’s so funny to imagine Wicked from the perspective of one of the normal students at Shiz. There’s this girl and she’s weird and an overachieving nerd and no one likes her, but then the popular girl becomes best friends with her overnight so you guess she’s chill now. They might be sleeping together but no one’s really sure. They’re also low key dating the same guy but you’re not clear on if it’s a polycule situation or a love triangle. Whatever. You’re just trying to study for finals. Your history teacher gets arrested and no explains why. You just hope this won’t effect your grade in the class. The weird nerdy girl gets a letter from the president inviting her to come see him. Wow, that’s exciting. She and her maybe-girlfriend go off to the capitol and you go back to homework and dorm room parties. One day later one of your professors is on the national radio saying that the weird nerdy girl, who used to be her favorite student, is now a terrorist, has stolen the nuclear codes, and is on the run from the government. You are still expected to show up to class tomorrow.

I'm cooking sth (and some of my old stuff)

Do you guys like me makin' comics like this?

I wonder what you think about this - do you think that the children of animals of the same species, but of different subspecies, are hybrids? For example, in my mind, Louis's biological mother is a fallow deer, and biologically father is a red deer.

IRL? They're very much called hybrids- check ring species and hybrid zone on Wikipedia to read more about it. In Beastars? Probably not, since the pool of possible hybrids is much wider. Either that, or they'd be classified as more "normal" hybrids. Like, in a list from most accepted to least accepted:

Hybrids between two subspecies of the same species- often not even clocked as hybrids or recognized as such, seen as normal.

Hybrids between members of the same genus but different species, like lion/tiger hybrids or mules. Usually clocked as hybrids, but not seen as too unusual, somewhat "exotic" but still normal.

Hybrids between two members of the same family/subfamily but different genus, like a llama/dromedary hybrid or a wholphin . The point were hybrids start being seen as odd and discriminated against, but these ones can usually still live mostly normal lives without too many obstacles.

Hybrids between two members of the same order but different families- surprisingly common with birds, apparently, but unheard of with other orders. I wonder if this means these hybrids would be less discriminated if they're bird hybrids, but much more discriminated if they were, say, a cougar/wolf hybrid? Something to think about for sure.

Hybrids between two members of the same class but different order- this is were Melon is (both mammals, but leopards are order carnivora and gazelles are order artiodactyla). Also the point where I think we don't have any IRL hybrid animals to reference. These hybrids are generally treated rather poorly by society and discriminated heavily.

Hybrids between two members of the same phylum but different class- this is were Leano is (both chordate, but grey wolves are mammals and komodo dragons are reptiles). The rarest type of hybrid, and usually seen as an aberration to nature when they do occur.

I don't know if two animals from different phylums could procreate tbh... Even with Beastars' crazy genetic outbreeding capabilities, I feel like that would push things too far. But what do I know?

Anyway, sorry for my massive ramble to answer your very simple question lol. A guy likes overthinking.
