lmao on the edinburgh zoo site it says “there is a daily penguin parade at 14:15 but it may be cancelled last minute as it is a voulntary parade, we do not coax the penguins with food, and they may not want to go out” lmao anarchopenguinism
this is the cutest goddamn thing i’ve ever heard
I saw the penguin parade. It was a very slow parade, because the
pingüinos take their sweet time and aren’t very fast walkers to begin with.
can I volunteer to be a penguin
I feel like the world needs to know the context of the edinburgh zoo penguin parade, becausr I’ve been going there my entire life and I only found out about this the other year.
So a while back (I can’t remember exactly when but I think it was some time around the 40s/50s), a bunch of penguins escaped. A keeper left the gate open so a bunch of penguins just… followed them. And the people loved it. Look at these adorable birds outside their cage just following that guy around! So they get all the penguins back inside and realise that none of them really ran off, they just followed the keeper and went back inside and crowd thought it was amazing, so why not make it a regular thing? Get enough people there that if one of them goes to make a run for it (which at least one has in the past), they can’t get past the people, and let the ones who want outside have a little wander. So every day, they get a crowd, they open the gate, and whatever penguins want to get out can go, waddle about, squawk at people, and then hop back inside.
Also, one of those penguins is Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III, Colonel-in-cheif of the Norwegian King’s Guard. This isn’t really related to the parade at all, I just love the fact that there’s a penguin in the Norwegian army
Reblogging with Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III inspecting his troops.
Carry on …
I love everything about this post.
A GOOD POST
A lovely older friend of mine lived in Edinburgh when she was a small child, and regularly attended the penguin parade – as a penguin. That is, she was a small toddler and thus about the right height and speed, and she just waddled along with everyone else who was about 2’ high.
So the answer to ‘can I volunteer to be a penguin’ is at least occasionally ‘yes.’
I had the honour of meeting Major General Sir Nils Olav III (he got promoted again at some point) recently at Edinburgh zoo!
I saw a photo of @roseygcosplay on insta in their amazing Sarah cosplay and I KNEW I HAD to draw my own version. I just loved the composition, the larger than life dress, and the iridescent bubble-like lighting ✨
This ballroom scene is EVERYTHING! I WANT TO LIVE THERE! The costumes, the music, the set 👹💖 And obviously Jareth 🥵 I think being taken away by the goblin king sounds like a party! 🤭🍑
Evolution of Steel! Did you know steel is just iron with a dash of carbon mixed into it? It’s literally just iron with 1% carbon, which magically makes it more durable
*the batboys on patrol, bored during a stakeout and arguing about who’s been failed by the most parental units*
Tim: i dont think death should count as failure, so Dick only gets one.
Dick: yeah- well we all have one by default, because, y'no,
Jason: -look B isn’t evil but he is an idiot and idiocy should count as failure.
Bruce: …you guys know i’m on this line, right?
Damian: hush father, we’re discussing.
Tim: so i get two, because i have the Drakes and then B. can my B count as two though? like, i had B normally and then i had B in the depths of grief; like that should count as-
Damian: no, no, absolutely fucking not Drake, you can’t use that cop out-
Dick: -yeah, no, i call bullshit. Tim you have two, suck it up.
Jason: it really doesn’t matter, literally none of you are going to even come close to beating me. i got the Todds, i got B, i got the Haywoods, i got Talia,
Tim, failing horrible at holding back laughter: yeah- yeah Jay, don’t take this the wrong way but does anybody love you?
Jason: i- *wheeze* man fuck you Replacement-
Dick, also laughing: yeah- littlewing, at this point maybe you’re the problem.
Jason: *cackles*
Tim: can we even count that as four though? surely if we’re counting Jack and Janet as one because they’re a couple then B and Talia should also be combined into one?
Damian: no, no, they should be separate. not only are they no longer together but they were attempting to parent completely separately. that’s two.
Jason: yeah, fuck you! tryna lower my tally-
Tim: oh please, he’s only agreeing with you so he has two instead of one!
Damian: i think you’ll find i have way more than two, i far outrank you Drake.
Dick, giggling: sorry, sorry- you far outrank him at what, not being loved correctly?
Damian, fully seriously: i don’t care how shit the competition is, Grayson. i’m fucking winning.
Tim: it’s bullshit! you’re literally the only one that wasn’t adopted by somebody else! you have two at most Damian, stop lying.
Damian: well, no, because Todd should be one of mine.
Jason: EXCUSE ME?!
Dick: oooo~
Damian, raising his voice over the yells: LISTEN- listen. growing up in the league you were the only authorative male figure that was present in raising me before i came to Gotham. there is no way you wouldn’t count on the board as a father figure.
Jason: NO, I’M NOT- i’m not fuckin’ arguing that, you’re my kid, end of. but how the fuck did i fail you?! i was great!
Damian: you literally passed me off to father and then disappeared for a year so you could go ‘fuck shit up’ with Arsenal and Starfire.
Dick: OOOO~
Jason: …I- shut up Dick. I- *laughs* ok in my defence that was my version of a gap year-,
Damian: and it was my version of child neglect, you’re going on the board.
Dick: suck it, littlewing!
Tim: *cackles*
Jason: yeah yeah- that’s still only three for Damian, i’m still winning.
Damian: Grayson should also be on my board.
Dick: UM? HOLD ON-
Jason, instantly: OOOOOOOH, NOT FUCKIN’ LAUGHIN’ NOW, ARE WE GOLDEN BOY?
Dick: HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE HERE-
Tim, enjoying this way more than he should: no, no, Dick the kid has a point, you literally had custody of him when B was lost in the timestream, you definitely count.
Damian: i rest my case.
Dick: HOW THE FUCK DID I FAIL?
Jason: SUCKS TO SUCK DICKFACE.
Damian: you called me short that one time and it severely effected my self esteem. emotional abuse.
Jason: *cackles*
Damian: you also also passed me off to father again, so you are also complicit to his damaged attempt at parenting.
Bruce, offended: Damian-
Dick: what are you- YOU WERE TEN. YOU WERE SHORT. ALL TEN YEAR OLDS ARE SHORT.
Tim, instantly: Billy Batson.
Dick: WH- ok first of all, he’s only tall part-time, and second of all THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS-

*Two-Face, across the street, listening to them yell through the open window of their stakeout spot*
Goon he was scheming with: …sir, should we shoot at them or someth-?
Two-Face, holding up a finger: shh, i wanna see who wins.
