As you might be aware I have big feelings about all besnouted creatures, but recently something has been grating on me. Sometimes, when people draw a snout animal, they draw the snout as a nose with the mouth as a separate entity underneath. This is a stylistic choice I greatly dislike because a snout or trunk is, by definition

A COMBINATION OF THE NOSE AND UPPER-LIP.

Three pictures of an elephant, a pig, and an aardvark. Their mouth parts have been traced in red to highlight the shape of their snouts.

You can see here that the snout is not a separate entity from the mouth in these mammals, but is a fleshy protuberance emanating from the upper jaw. 

Two drawings of an anthropomorphic pig face, one with the mouth separate from the nose, another with the mouth and nose incorporated as a proper snout. Both pigs are smiling, but the second seems somehow more genuine than the first. This image is captioned "It has a warmer feel."  Next given are two examples of anthropomorphic pigs, Peppa Pig, and Richard Scarry's Pig Will and Pig Won't. Peppa Pig is captioned "cold, unfeeling" and Richard Scarry's pigs are captioned "warm, compassionate."

You can see in this illustration how a more anatomically accurate snout position gives an anthropomorphic pig a degree of charm that an inaccurate snout position does not.

Snout positioning can make or break a character design for me.

Had the funniest experience earlier of my swiftie coworker putting the new white girl breakup songs™️ album on the speaker at work and the moment she left the room long enough for her phone to disconnect from Bluetooth our older coworker immediately put on 10 hours of relaxing tibetan flute music instead and we all collectively sighed in relief

Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we’re dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.

If politicians can take or distribute them, then they’re not “inalienable” and they’re not “rights.”

We don’t have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.

And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.

A brown, black, and white hound dog standing under an angel's trumpet flower. It's a big yellow, triangular bell-like flower, that looks a bit like a cool hat. The dog is smiling at the camera. The flower is part of a big green leafy tree with other flowers. The bush is behind a short chain link fence, and some pale grey bricks. There are fallen leaves and petals on the ground.ALT

i know unicorns are usually silver or lavender with those skinny horse legs built for running but id like to see more unicorns with natural colouration built like tanks like these beasts

a powerful looking grey draft horse. the hair on its legs are black and slightly cover its hoovesALT
a black and white horse. it has a strong stance. the hair on its legs are white and completely cover its hoovesALT

we need like a scale of unicorn. on one end you have amalthea last unicorn who is the peak of elegant otherworldly unicorns with silver and lavender colours. we need the opposite of that. we need a unicorn who looks like the horse version of a trucker

two drawings of unicorns. one is pink with wavy hair. the other is grey with short hair and is smoking a cigarette for some reason. the is an arrow above them to indicate the aforementioned scale of unicornALT
