Im In Poland And They Keep Showing This Pizza Advert And Its Amazing.

I’m in Poland and they keep showing this pizza advert and it’s amazing.

It starts off with rival pizza makers who argue over who has the best pizza and are driving the customers away

Then there’s this crazy old lady who yells at them from a window to quit it (because where else do you yell business advice from?)

So they work together and do some obvious flirting via pizza montage

And the old lady is all like “just kiss already”

Then they create a pizza together, combine restaurants and live happily ever after with the crazy window lady

Interestingly, though, there are some Universities that are trying to mitigate this somewhat- I once had an assignment where we had to ask ChatGPT to answer an assignment question for us.

The real assignment was an essay on where ChatGPT was wrong, researching the gaps ourselves, and correcting what it told us.

Not a perfect solution, but I think it was useful in seeing for ourselves that AI is not perfect. Far from it, actually.

I do feel I need to clarify- personally, I hate AI. May it burn in hell then be freeze-dried on a clothesline to burn again.

Results for the poll I made the other week came in- the whale and octopus x squirrel tied, so I started with this.

I'm going with the whale being a queen-of-all-cetaceans kinda local deity. You think blue whales are large? She's the Viola (the cow not the instrument) of whales.

The largest blue whale ever recorded way 33.58m (~110' 7") long. Off that record, I'm going with this lovely lady being around 100m (328') long at least.

She guides regular whale migrations and has minor healing abilities. Mostly just a whale protector, but massive and magical. Hence the cool colours.

There is 100% an Atlantis preserve, hidden underwater for oceanic creatures and you cannot convince me otherwise. This whale lives there, under their care. She'll leave every couple months to check up on her whales and dolphins, but comes back for the free food and head scratches.

I'd like to say that most animal families (cervidae, canidae, felidae, columbidae, ursidae, etc) have their own magical minor deity. They're all massive, have minor magical properties and abilities and often have cool colouration. She is one of them.

This could also be taken a step further- with Milch creatures like Viola or The Walrus being their deity's offspring or the deities themselves. (Demigod Viola is going to take over my mind from here on out, thank you.)

Frodo: what are you writing?

Bilbo: The Thain wants to know if we have any weapons in the smial, I’m letting him know it’s none of his business.

Frodo, reading over Bilbo’s shoulder: Uncle, this says ‘Fuck around and find out’ in calligraphy.

I love you all ❤

I'm gonna be honest, I don't know what's going on here. My little sister suggested it. So I drew it.

In order to justify this lil' dude's addition to my Fablehaven Beastiary, I'm going with a mildly crazy hedgewitch named Aisteach a couple hundred years ago. She was trying to learn transmutation, wasn't particularly good at it, but realised she loved her weird creations and made a bunch.

So. Many.

These half/half hybrids are all considered the same species, Aistechi (single Aistechus)- named in her honour.

Due to a weird twist of magic, even though they have no special properties or abilities themselves, if they breed with any of the components of their crosses (in this case, a squirrel or an octopus), all their offspring will ALSO be Aistechi of the same kind.

A couple got out near the beginning of the debacle, and... well...

They're generally considered either highly invasive and irritating pests or cool pets in reserves, depending on which form of Aistechi they have and how easily they can breed with the native wildlife in the area.

Reserves have a difficult time trying to contain them, stop them breeding wildly, while also fending off poachers, due to the pet market for some of the cuter forms among the rich and elite. Most preserves just try to avoid having any at all.

Fablehaven has exactly 0, because possessing this species is rather counter-productive if they're going for secrecy. Though Seth may smuggle one back from a knight's mission from a preserve madly trying to rehome the children of a grey wolf x sandpiper (who found another sandpiper- don't ask me how that worked) and name him Zip sometime in the future. Nobody can persuade Seth to give Zip up, and they go flying occasionally.

Seth has to get written permissions and several licences just to keep Zip, let alone bring him along on adventures. The less said about getting permission for Zip to go to other preserves with Seth, the better. Most have the instinctive reaction of looking at Zip, pointing, and screaming. Which is wildly hilarious, as he's adorable.
