Small duck with white underbelly, brown plumage elsewhere and a tuft of long, fluffy feathers on her head.

While her male counterpart tends to grab the spotlight, I think this female hooded merganser has a special charm of her own.

Paramount Skydance must NOT merge with Warner Bros. Discovery, or else Hollywood is DEAD.

Pass it on.

Your welcome. Today has not been a good day. I needed a breath of fresh air with what’s going on.

Fading rays of light cast a golden orange and pink hue across blue clouds and dark blue lake, against the silhouette of trees in the distance and brush along the coast.

For five minutes.

Can online "fans" of animation just stop being toxic and insufferable bullies, even to the creators, regardless of the reasoning behind it, especially for NON-ISSUE things, for FIVE MINUTES?!

I think creators need to be more firm with their fanbases and remind them, that THEY ARE JUST THE AUDIENCE. They do not dictate or decide how the show plays out or change the creator’s Vision.

To all fandoms out there: You are all the things that are wrong with Entertainment. It's not the creator's choice, or any of your silly theories that you hoped would be true. It's you. It's always been you.

so many people responding to the announcement that Smiling Friends won't go on forever with outraged "but... [shitty cartoon] does!" comparisons

have you considered that's why the other cartoon is shitty

A desert landscape with the foreground in almost total silhouette, with mesquite trees and creosote bushes rising up. A low band just above the horizon of orange, yellow, and red shows the last breath of the sunset, about an hour after the sun went down. The sky above is a brilliant deep blue rising into black, with stars visible in a dome around the image. Just above the horizon is a white streak of contrail that looks like a long flourish of a signature with a loop like a cursive 2 trailing off into the horizon.
