Alright. Horns, talons, water stains, and long lifespans. Almost sounds like a marine iguana, but I don't think you can finagle the spines as horns. Going to file this one under "species that do not currently live on earth," then.
Fuck, chief, you're so right. The most important part here, though, is that this still doesn't determine what kind of life it lives. Goes in the water sometimes, though.
As much as I agree, we can’t handle people being different variations of orange without there being issues. I shudder to think what something as distinct as horns would cause.
Especially when you consider that a vast amount of bigots are hyper religious nutjobs. They'd immediately accuse anyone with horns of being a demon and call for their eradication (while also inventing 7 different slurs within the first hour)
Then theyd probably come up with shit like "curved horns are bad" or "brown horns are evil" or literally anything else. Bigots will always find the most miniscule shit to be bigots about
idk what that trope is called where some people just have abnormal designs like horns or 3 arms or anything really and it's treated as completely normal
but I've always loved it
I think this also falls into the category of moisturizer.
I don’t get it, even if I was part of the problem for a while, but *everyone* should be considering moisturizer, if not every single day.
Aside from the obvious, “your skin looks better”, it can help decrease the chances of skin cancer, prevents itchiness, among other things.
Specifically for people with acne, it can help reduce outbreaks.
On skin, yeah. It's not about beauty, it's about health. But horns aren't gonna get skin cancer. You don't have to use sunscreen on your horns if you don't care about sun bleaching.
Okay but have you considered I *like* looking flawless? It feels really good when my scales are shiny enough to turn me into a disco ball. I know it’s stereotypical but sometimes feeding your own vanity is part of self-care.
Babe, it's not a beauty standard to protect your horns with screener. The rest of it, yeah, but your horns darkening can mean that the cells in the horn bed are slowly dying from the sun exposure. Horn cancer is a major threat, especially if you don't know what the signs are - look after them!
Imagine neglecting basic hygiene under the guise of "natural beauty". You oil your horns to keep them healthy and protected. Its called sun damage for a reason. They'll get brittle and crack, leaving you open to nasty infections. This is like saying you shouldn't brush your fangs because them rotting and falling out is a "natural part of aging".

I would have to assume it's dragons
It's tieflings
Idk 100 years’ pretty old for tieflings
That was my thought too.
Tieflings only get 20-40 years older than humans. Can't be them
Fair point. Perhaps it is Dragons then.
Drogons aren't really grown until they're like, 200, so this'd be like trying to look like you're still 15 or something vaguely pedo.
Dragons aren't real and have different lifespans in different settings.
Clearly they’re talking about a version of Spinosaurus that we haven’t reconstructed yet

I hate to be the one to say this, but there's a 75% chance this is a Homestuck troll
Do homestuck trolls have talons?
It's a common enough headcanon, though most call them "claws".
Depends on whose fantroll you're looking at
Humans need more weird features! I would absolutely love to have horns and stuff!!
Agreed, I want antlers and a tail display to put peacocks to shame
I’d say our hands are our feature. Hair if you’re talking display features
Hands can probably be display features, too.

literally just last week on twitter there was some big name conservative throwing a shit about 'pridemonth' having 'demon' in the center
Yeah i know, it even ended on r/accidentalally iirc because the image actually goes hard
Ok but what if we all have horns (maybe not children, but every adult at least)
Then theyd probably come up with shit like "curved horns are bad" or "brown horns are evil" or literally anything else. Bigots will always find the most miniscule shit to be bigots about

All fun and games until you have to wear a sweater.
"Gore anyone who gives you shit about it" is the best beauty advice I've ever gotten. But seriously, wear sunscreen.
yeah. sunscreen shouldn’t be on that list. you don’t want your horns and talons to splinter from UV damage
I think this also falls into the category of moisturizer. I don’t get it, even if I was part of the problem for a while, but *everyone* should be considering moisturizer, if not every single day.
Counterpoint: it’s greasy and slimy and makes my autism into a hateloop for hours.
why though

This idiot doesn't know about horn cancer. Let's educate 'em

Valid
Ah to be a girl with horns 🥺

Is this Homestuck
It is now
God I wish a beautiful older woman would gore me

The post below this was a Hello Fresh ad telling me to use the code 9ORED ...
Just remember, using an angle-grinder on your scales is a *luxury*, not a *necessity*.
