Alright, Re doing my intro post thing.

First off, im bad with tags and dont have any set up yet, so beware of this blog if you dislike nsfw content, and be warned in you are unsettled by things. I will most likely tag things that include epilepsy warnings and such.

do not @ me unless i follow you, or a post reminds you of me.

Call me Mint.

oh also I have an old art blog: @kittycatmintarts

and a sketch/abstract blog with a personality: @dwindleing

she/her, trans, therian, 18.

and as far as you are aware, this is what I look like:

(5'11 irl, persona is 3-4 feet tall and ended up being drawn oddly similar to my real proportions)

(more (and semi important) info below cut)

The fact that “dolls having a tea party” has stuck around in the public consciousness is fascinating to me.

Like, back in the Old Days that would be a way that women would actually socialize.  So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.

But these days contemporary women don’t have tea parties. So now, the idea of “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, only repeated and referenced because it used to be so prevalent.

So a Barbie in a big hat themed for a tea party is a bit like if they made Transformers that turned into stagecoaches and horse-drawn buggies.

Like I wouldn’t buy the fuck out of stagecoach transformers

in a hotel room very cautiously removing my clothing slowly and constantly looking around the room shifty and scared as fuck anticipating attacks while a beautiful pair of women sitting side by side on the bed in matching lingerie excitedly but restrained with carefully lowered vioices cheer me on. they say Yes thats it thats how sex works! youre doing it right yeah! youve got it keep going! and im finally down to a sports bra and one tube sock when a car alarm putside startles me and i lunge for the empty handgun on the floor and put it in my mouth while they panic and scramble trying to calm me down petting my hair and cooing gently

forget cannibalism it bums me out that i will probably never be able to ethically eat like, a flamingo

Penguin flippers, Kiwi breast, elephant trunk steak, that kind of stuff?

you jest but now I'm genuinely curious what penguin meat would taste like under all that blubber. would it retain any "bird" flavor or would it be more similar to marine mammals??? i don't actually want to eat a penguin to be clear, you've simply sparked my curiosity

My grandfather reported that they taste like fishy rubber boiled in motor oil. So bad that he only tried it once despite being on a ship in the Antarctic ocean for months on end. 1940s dry rations were preferable to fresh penguin.

Ok so I tried something similar today during work.

Pretty much most marine birds who mainly have fish in their diet taste pretty similar.

I tried a number of auk species (those include things like puffins, little auks, guillemots, razorbills ect.) And when boiled they both smell and taste kind of like wet Catfood and have dark meat.

Pretty gross and not reccomedable.

I could imagine its fair to assume penguin meat will not taste much different, though I can't give first hand accounts.

BUT i live in a place where people used to hunt and eat young gulls and they supposedly tasted good ( biggest lie ive ever heard).

I think with most of these marine bird species you really only eat them when you NEED to or go through a longer process of trying to get rid of the fishy taste by keeping them in milk baths or vinegar.
