Title: Because it made me happy
Post by: Mixxi on October 22, 2013, 02:35:15 PM
I give you the green-vine snake. It's real. And this picture of it made me inordinately happy when I saw it. I thought I would share, since everyone needs something to make them happy.

It could guest star in EQNext. Reminds me of a disney movie, musical: He looks like he's singing.

Very cool looking creature! Brightened my day for certain.

The snake certainly would be a nice belt.

If you think this one would make a great belt, you should see its cousin: the "buckle-headed vine snake".   ;)


But I'm not much into snakes, even cute snakes. Red pandas make me very happy.

Snake still creeps me the hell out.  Because it's Snake.  And it knows it.  And it's laughing at me because of it.

Fire ferret has the right idea.  :)

Speaking of fire ferrets, OMG Korra Beginnings Part 1 & 2 this past week.  Equal parts awesome and beautiful--could be my favorite in the Avatar saga or pretty darn close.

The red panda looks like it was having an epic battle with itself in proximity to a pumpkin. He really didn't do any damage to that pumpkin lol.

Um... Yes, I'd say the pumpkin won.

I haven't seen those yet. I've been pretty disappointed so far by this season's Korra. But I haven't yet watched the episodes you mention so maybe I'll take it off hold for that. Thanks.

It's a fairly self-contained hour.  Total 180 from the rest of the season.  The animation style was extra special.  In terms of story, I truly hope this sets the tone for what comes after because the bar just got set really high.

Thanks, Jasyn.

"Beginnings" was a masterpiece. Emotive and well written. Plus, yay lore.

The animation was great too. I'm really hoping whoever wrote that gets say in the rest of the series because it needs that touch. Raised bar indeed.

They are on to the second season or Korra? Excellent. I must watch these.

But but... this snake looks like you can just pick it from the bush and tie it around your waist.
It got the perfect shape and such a nice pattern, nature is so fashionable :)

Love the snake.  Seriously.

Red panda? I now know where the inspiration for Tigger (of Winnie the Pooh fame)

Simon's Cat (http://www.youtube.com/user/simonscat) makes me very happy.

Why do I feel as if Julie Andrews and her friend just got photo bombed by a cow?

Simon's Cat is adorable.  Thanks for that, Lyri. 

Remaining on the line of fe , here's my most favouritiest thing of the week.  I've had it on a repeating loop for the past few days.  I can't look away!  Thunder!  Thunder!  Thundercats, hooooooooooooooooooooooooooly catapults, Batman!
