Three whitetail bucks locked horns in battle & drowned together in a creek in Ohio.

Burke couldn’t believe it. “I could see two, but three? I asked if he was sure and he said, ‘Yes.’ I drove down and met him. They were floating in the creek almost like three petals of a flower or something.”

Actually, they were in love.

They knew that the others wouldn’t understand. It was unconventional. Not just bucks, but the three of them, together. Their love wouldn’t further the species, not that they’d get the chance to do that, anyway. There were too many bucks this season as it was. Too many competing for the does. They’d bonded over that reason. Despite being strong, prime examples of their species, their hearts weren’t in it. They let themselves lose fights, much to the disgust of the other bucks around them. But together, they’d found some understanding, some affection, and a feeling of home. 

But they couldn’t go on with it. Not season after season being ridiculed, outcast, and unwanted. Their society thrived so much on making families that they truly believed that they would never feel fulfilled without that. And so… they decided to go out together, sharing the heartache of the herd’s disapproval and the small, perfect joy of having finally found love. 

Not by car or by hunter, or even starvation… but in the water, where all life began. 

Conan Edogawa, all classic-Gab style with chunky, janky lines.He’s got a pink scarf because Ran buys him all of his clothes, poor thing. And LOOK, his glasses are in his pocket!!! So I drew his glasses for once. Just not on his face. 

BTW Conan Sunday is coming back.

THE LINKREDIBLE GIVEAWAY! 

To celebrate the launch of our new blog fuckyeahhylia, we have decided to have an amazing giveaway for the lovely people of tumblr. There are two prizes including a Wii U: Premium Pack (Black) and a Nintendo 3DS: The Legend of Zelda Limited Edition. The deadline and drawing date is on the bottom.

PRIZE INFORMATION

Wii U: Premium Pack (Black) – The reason for me giving away such a prize is because I had won the Wii U for free at a raffle, even though I already had my own. At first I wanted to sell the whole pack, but with the release of Wind Waker HD coming to the Wii U, I would rather a legitimate and deserving Nintendo fan get the opportunity to play it instead of someone attempting to buy it off me to save a few bucks. However, I do want at least SOME money out of it, so I will be selling the NintendoLand game elsewhere. Therefore, the NintendoLand software that is included with the Premium Pack will NOT be included in this giveaway.  Other than that, the console itself is brand-spanking new (unused), and is packed and ready to be given to the lucky winner.

For more details on the Wii U: Premium Pack (Black) prize, message Noel on either his blog or fuckyeahhylia.

Nintendo 3DS: The Legend of Zelda Limited Edition – People around tumblr have always been sulking about not having this limited edition Zelda 3DS. I won this $100 prepaid visa gift card at an orchestra banquet last year and I hadn’t used it, apparently. So, I decided to search for the 3DS on eBay and I was actually surprised to find one under the budget! Gave the card to my mother and she took care of the rest. It’s in pretty great condition, barely used, all the functions are fine, the screen is as sharp as a tack. However, this was just for the hand-held device, not Ocarina of Time 3DS. I can’t provide for everything! Also, it didn’t come in the original packaging, so I’ll send it bubble wrapped and safe inside a small box. Charger and stand included.

For more details on the Nintendo 3DS: The Legend of Zelda Limited Edition prize, message Elly on either her blog or fuckyeahhylia.

The history of Gab the Meerkat! Gab has been my online avatar since 1997, back when I was involved in TLK-L and the lionking.org chatroom. She was very obviously influenced by my obsession with Timon. I don’t draw her nearly as much anymore, though. Clearly, this must be remedied. 

Oh and this one now:
