'catgirl' this 'catboy' this meme works perfectly for pet personalities and I'm hijacking it for that purpose. As a bonus, I did my breeder's pack too. Feel free to add your own pets, the meme template is in the quotepost.

Two fawn colored greyhounds, their faces white with age, stand next to each other. Though the one on the right has white paws and upright ears, the two are clearly identifiable as related. They are in fact, littermate sisters.

What's better than one Zill? Two!! Today was a very special day: We got to meet Zill's sister and littermate, Ashley! A dream come true for me, and it was a lovely time and visit. A reunion 10 years in the making. ❀️

Front cover of the book "Metroid Prime 1-3, A Visual Retrospective." It is a black felt hardback book, with a red-outlined embossed image of Samus Aran, the heroine of Metroid, on the front cover.

An image from the artbook "Metroid Prime 1-3, a Visual Retrospective" 

It shows two screenshots from the end of Metroid Prime from 2002, and the updated versions from 2023's Metroid Prime Remastered for the Nintendo Switch. 

The Producer's Note reads:

"Metroid Prime Remastered" was released in 2023, approximately 20 years after the original "Metroid Prime." Not only did the graphicsl enhancements showcase 20 years of hardware evolution, but the game itself also proved that it remains timeless even after two decades. 

Through this wonderful artbook, we hope that you look back on the history of the "Metroid Prime" series and look forward to the new chapter which Nintendo and Retro[Studios] are creating together."

I have just received the greatest art book of all time. Excuse me while I go weep... This is where all of my artistic style is born from. Every image in this book inspired me in ways I can't articulate in words, but hope to articulate in art. Thank you retro studios...this book is everything to me.

illustration by laur-rants. The drawing depicts a pachycephalosaurus, a dinosaur iconic for its head dome that it used in intraspecific combat. This one is in a sitting position, looking towards the camera.

What else is there to say about this iconic dino that hasn't already been said? Pachycephalosaurus, the big horn of the Cretaceous, is #dinocember Day 29. Only Two more for me to go! :') #paleoart πŸ•

I forgot to post about it because it's been a hectic couple of weeks for me but my sweet girl Echo turned 3 on the 11th!! We celebrated by giving her an inch and a half of snow, and taking her this weekend for her first time straight racing. She is growing into such a fine, lovely, sweet borzoi ❀️

I outlined the rest. πŸ˜‚ I gave you the answers. You can take that to study it and realize "ah those are weird" but yes the paw is the initial giveaway which means you didn't have to "guess" you *knew* which one was generated. Good job 😊

Incredibly, critical thinking is a skill people need to learn to get good at, just like any skill. Humans also like the path of least resistance. If you are worried about people incorrectly guessing genai vs real writing via em-dash, you can also learn the difference so you can teach them better!
