*Everyone Is Gathering Around The Map While 'Mission Impossible' Starts Playing In The Background*

❌ “Kill them with kindness“

✅ Confuse them with kindness. Absolutely baffle them. Catch them off guard so bad they stop and seriously question your sanity for a moment. "Are they really this gullible, or just stupid??" Be the small gentle ray of candour that blinds them when looking at your innocent smile. Show them the warmth that never grazed their frigid soul before. There are only two paths for you after that: you're either dead or become the light of their life. Maybe even changing their ways for the better. For both of you.

Be that change.

Bro I WILL draw him-

"Alone on a Friday night?~"

(you are alone because he ate your date)

(You're next 🫵)

So, Cardinal.... May I do a quick sketch of you in my sketchbook??? :3 📖🖊️

P.... please don't actually draw him like that-

"Shut up, let the fans have fun :]"

God I hate you

*looks at the staring people, and, unsure what to do, starts smiling and happily waving her hand in greeting 👋*

*stares at y'all*

Gohdaymn, it's getting popularity... I'm glad people like it (⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠)

Thank you 🙏 Now I understand it better

Guys, can somebody please explain to me what exactly does 'non-sharing selfshipping' mean and why (apparently??) some folks don't like people who do it? I'm just... genuinely confused??

(and also how to properly interact with these people, bc I really wouldn't want to upset or offend anyone 😓)

I'm not trying to be rude by any means, there's just a lot of terms out there for me to learn yet, and this is one of them.

Chat... I fear I might be cooking...

🦴 Here you go guys, photos of my skeleton (Cat. Cat's skeleton, not mine, lmao) and a couple of fun facts about the process of skeleton-making and animal anatomy 🦴

I put them under the cut just in case some of yall are sensitive and don't want to see it 👇

Felis catus or domestic cat

He was a male british shorthair, a bit fat but not obese. I don't quite remember if we concluded the cause of death during autopsy but the dissection was informative (I'd post the photos but I'm afraid it would be too much 😬)

So here's a photo of mid-process assembling:

We used wires and instant glue. Gotta be careful with this stuff cuz it sticks to your fingers like crazy (and yes, there's a cow leg lying around in the background).

The one who was assembling was yours truly and I wasted SO MUCH TIME looking at the anatomy textbook to set the pose and limbs properly, but in the end it paid off. Our curator said that it was the most anatomically accurate cat posture out of all cat skeletons our uni museum had (yippee!)

(Also notice how gray the skeleton is compared to the previous photos. That's because when removing meat from the bones, we boil them and they tend to go gray, so in the final stage the skeleton needs to be whitened in hydrogen peroxide)

If you look closely at the skull you might notice that the jaws are not aligned properly — that's because my groupmate glued them the wrong way :p You need to be VERY precise in how you glue stuff, it doesn't separate easy afterwards.

Now see these two small bones right here? They are the collarbones. Fun fact about them is that cats and many other animals either have them reduced in size or don't have them at all! It depends on the species, but the main purpose of their absence is to help animals' front paws move more freely. In case of cats — to be more agile while climbing trees, fitting through small holes or walking on thin surfaces.

So naturally, these tiny bones just... reside in the muscle, not connected to literally anything.

And in this case our skeleton, I dare say, is very special, because, unlike the ones in the museum, it has collarbones in display. While removing the meat we (well, I) decided to not get rid of them and instead come up with a way to somehow include them in the final product. I came up with the idea of gluing them to transparent poles made of UV-curing glue. And as you can see, it worked pretty well 😄

All in all, it was a complicated, long but fun and very interesting process (nothing like my mute swan skeleton). This kitty-cat is gonna live forever in our museum as a display of hard work and dedication 🩷
