The cremesicle looks the most natural, crawling on her belly like a reptile
Can someone make an example with men? Or shall I make that (lol)
PLEASE tell me that the bottom photo isn't of a woman.......
Be it man or woman, I see no treasure
Carpe, I can appreciate the beauty of that kingsnake/thing you posted, it is pleasing enough to the eye. But if I owned it, it would never be bred. I'm going to go on a silly tangent and liken it to body art. Surely we can all agree that the female form is a beautiful creation. A little nose ring or tattoo doesn't bother me either. But at some point of ink coverage, gauges, branding, scars, and foreign objects, it no longer looks like the human form to me. I understand that some people feel differently -in both hybrids and body art. You're a guy and I'm a guy, and since I seem to have a hard time getting this thought across, allow me to explain it in pictures:
Classic wild type corn snake -pretty, and you just don't see enough nice ones these days:
Top shelf Okeetee -impossible to improve upon to my eye, you can only get different, never "better." So what she dyes her hair!:
Hypo avalanche stripe tessera -Sure it looks nothing like a wild type but who wouldn't want one?:
Creamsicle -perhaps not exactly "as god intended," but still can be very nice to look at and something I wouldn't mind working with:
Cross-genus hybrid -Certainly interesting to the eye, but I'm not sure what it's supposed to be:
Now the biggest fault in my analogy is that body art isn't passed on to future generations. Imagine for a moment that it is, and here's what I fear happening to generations of corns from hybridizing becoming common place:
PS, please no one take this post too seriously.
IMHO, it is like cooking. If you go about mixing fruit and mustard without a second thought, it is a gross combination. But if you think about each variable, like texture, contrast and balance, you could create the next great combination, like carrotcake with creamcheese icing.
If you want to great the best of the best, you must honor the simple and tasty raw ingredients and find the best specimens of each. Take thought when combining, and understand the limit. While adding ingrediants may make it better, overcomlicating it is also bad.
So yes, I do think it is an art, but just because it is a hybrid doesn't make it pretty. A hybrid has the chance to combine the best traits of each parent as well as the worst.
Planet Terror/Death Proof double feature.
Had to know that some people have the inability to just let something go. Passive-aggressive much?
Hybrids are wonderful, they make great frozen treats for cobras!
I just could not let this opportunity pass to tell you how passive aggressive I think the text below your avatar is. You are repeating your opinion on this matter every time you post and you are shoving it up everyone's throath that way. I know we have agreed to disagree on this but some proverb with pot and kettle comes to my mind. Of course you are gonna say that you never said you are not passive aggressive but perhaps you did not realize how it comes across for some people.
(sorry to disturb the lovely chatter going on atm but this had been bothering me regularly)
OMG with that monstruous Machete charachter? Planet Terror is the epitaph of gore! not sure if that means I like it or not.... it is so gross it's beyond scary and becomes funny.
It's no different than most of the other users titles people have posted.
I see ones about religion, beliefs, snarky comments, proclamations of love, jokes, and just about anything under the sun.
Some of them might bother me, some many not. It's a right to free speech. (which has been covered very throughly in the thread.)
If you have an issue with it, you would probably get a result talking to that single individual via PM than calling them out in public. It seems much more respectful and more likely to reach an better result.
Censoring something that bothered you was pretty much the crux of the thread. Both sides, yet again, agreed to disagree. Hybrid lovers can love hybrids, and hybrid dislikers can dislike them. It's exactly the same as the cohab/noncohab argument. Who cares if one side or the other posts something, has an avatar, signature, whatever. We have all ready established how we do or, do not feel.
Just my 2 cents.
It's a love story! My favorite film. Notice I have snakes named Cherry and El Wray??
You may be thinking of Machete, though- which I also love. Planet Terror had a trailer for Machete in it.
