oh ok! I just figured, if there are male and female dwarves but they can’t tell which is which (and don’t care, socially) you’d end up with about half of all long-term couples being infertile. so I figured, if you’re in a fertile couple and your sibling is in an infertile couple, you’d have like five kids and raise them together with your sibling and their spouse, then maybe when they get older some of them go live with your sibling full-time. so dwarves live in big family groups.

Ahh I Iove that concept, Dwarven Utopia is my new favourite thing to daydream about. Thankyou for sharing!

I know many of you out there are feeling a bit down. Have a crow to Wouldn’t it be Nice by the Beach Boys to lift your mood.

And you just know that right around the corner that crow got into his faded orange VW Kombi van with the surfboards strapped on top and hit the beach.

This crow is 100% fucking around for no reason other than to fuck around. Birds have two main gaits depending on where they live – they put one foot in front of the other if they live on the ground, or they hop if they live in the trees. Crows live on the ground, and thus walk. They have no reason to hop like this, and they aren’t wired or built to move like this naturally. They might hop to quickly avoid danger that’s very limited, like a car tire coming at them, or to get up onto the curb, but this sort of motion has no purpose other than being fun.
