A baby pangolin is born quite helpless, other than the ability to suckle and cling. Until the baby is big enough to travel on its on, a mother pangolin will tote it around on her tail.

ok enough is enough. whichever one of you virgins invented instagram starbucks recipes, die 1000 deaths. I had a customer come in today holding out their phone (full brightness) and looking all shy and Im immediately like 🙄 fine ok, what does the instagram user want me to make for them this time. well this time it's a cringe harry potter themed frappucino. excuse me??? "can you make this for me?" I said excuse me??? -- I mean *customer service voice* "yeah it looks like I have all the ingredients, haha sure!"

ok cringe instagram harry potter frappucino drinker. ok. die. "Ive never had this drink before" yeah I can tell due to the fact that it didnt exist until someone posted a #aesthetic photo of it to instagram 14 hours ago ok. ok,

but whatever, Im paid to put up with this shit. so I add the ingredients all up on my computer and congrats! ur harry potter cringe social media drink has $10 worth of syrup in it. are you happy??? is this what you wanted??? a $10 frappucino??? $10. for a drink. you doubled the price of this drink for ur off-brand "harry potter and the legend of the overpriced starbucks drink" drink. you doubled the price!!! is this how u imagined spending ur day? is this what u wanted to do when u woke up this morning? $10 for a 24oz drink?

and u know, you KNOW the influencer making this recipe doesn't even work at a starbucks cause when it was all said and done the drink looked like shit. my blender was straining against the weight of your sins (and syrups) and Im sweating, Im an animal, Im losing my mind and my blender is getting watered down frappucino syrups everywhere -- u put so much shit liquid in this blender it doesnt even fit in the cup btw. it's making a huge mess. but is it instagramable? no, its fucking ugly. #trending #foryoupage #cringe $10 harold potter drink for adult children,

so are you happy? is ur social media influencer bestie happy? I made ur stupid $10 drink for u. does it taste good? no? well I hope instagram shuts down tomorrow. I hope you read a different book. I hope I never get sober. there is no sign of land. I hope you die. I hope we both die.

I'm early 30's and while I get the point OP was trying to make, the fact that they make it sound like all adults on here are trying to be predators who "lure in teenagers" to do "insidious things" doesn't sit well with me. Some adults just want to share their love for their fandoms and nothing else. While real predators can lie about their age...

My advice to the minors on this site? Always be careful not to give about to much personal information and don't just trust someone you don't know or have never seen before.

@ my fellow adults who use tumblr a lot:

can you PLEASE put your age in your about/sidebar and make sure it’s accessible on mobile. imo if you’re an adult esp 20+ it’s a little weird that you wouldn’t have your age readily available on your blog. if you’re reading this now and you don’t have your age listed, please rectify that. i feel like teenagers get lured into talking to adults in fandom/lgbt spaces that they may not have intentionally sought out because they think they’re talking to other teenagers, and this can lead to a lot of other – much more insidious –problems

A capybara with an orange on its head in the annual capybara open-air bath at the Izu Shaboten Zoo 🍊

[Image Description: A series of 4 gifs of a capybara in a pool. It is surrounded by mandarin oranges floating all around it. In the first gif it is sort of slumped over, with the lower part of its head in the water. There’s an orange perfectly perched on its head. It blinks a few times in the second gif and moves slightly, turning towards the camera. In the third gif and fourth gifs the capybara has its head fully out of the water, looking directly at the camera, blinking and moving its head slightly back and forth. The last photo is text that reads “do not delete caption.” End description]

Fanfiction

Title: To Be The Last Creator: TheCourtSorcerer Rating: Teen & Up Length/Medium: 1,915 words Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur Pendragon Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply; Mentions of Parental Death. Summary: Something was wrong with Merlin. “Something is wrong with you,” Arthur voiced his thoughts after zero consideration for how the words may sound.   –OR– It’s the that time of year again, the time when Balinor died. And even after all these years, Merlin grieves what could have been had he not lost his father as soon as he got him those years ago. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29151606

+ + + Title: The silver lining of silence Creator: ListenToThat Rating: G Length: 2332 Pairing(s): Merlin & Arthur Warning(s): Temporary disability (deafness/hard of hearing) Summary: When Arthur wakes up, his world is engulfed in dull silence. His roommate doesn’t know about this. Arthur attempts to keep it that way. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29354220 + + + Title: Just Like We Always Do Creator: TheCourtSorcerer Rating: Mature Length: 4,400 words Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur Warning(s): Major Character Death (not actually, though, no one actually dies, it’s not real, but just to be safe here’s the warning) Summary: Merlin and Arthur spend some time teaching at Hogwarts under aliases, until one day it all goes wrong and they’re exposed in a painful way. ——– “Wait! Arthur! Don’t open that!” Merlin exclaimed suddenly, rushing to Arthur’s side at the chest behind the desk. “What? Why? You just told me I could!” Arthur shouted back, sounding panicked by Merlin’s tone. It was too late, though, he had already started opening it. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29580096 + + + Title: No Hands Had Ever Been So Gentle, Nor So Deadly Creator: @queerofthedagger Rating: Teen and Up Length/Medium: 3,400 words Pairing: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon Warnings: None Summary: “You really came. It wasn’t a dream,” Arthur eventually whispers, and he sounds so, so fragile. Merlin has a hard time breathing, and it’s not because of Arthur’s weight; the thought that none of this would’ve happened if not for him hasn’t left him alone all night. It’s all the more tangible with Arthur clinging to the shreds of his composure. “I’m sorry,” he says, his voice cracking with how much he means it. Arthur’s kidnapped. Of course, Merlin comes to find him, but getting Arthur out might’ve been the easiest part. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29672055 + + + Title: I should have… Creator: Chibi / @babybird-merlin Rating: Teen and Up Length: 2,309 words Pairing: None / Merlin & Arthur Pendragon Warnings: Physical Punishment Summary: Based upon the comment Uther makes in episode 7 of season 1 (Gates of Avalon): “If this was a time of war, I would have you flogged.” This takes place at the end of the episode where instead of ending in the stocks again, Uther is sick of Merlin’s behavior and has him flogged right there and then in the Throne Room. Needless to say that Arthur is less than impressed by his fathers order and after all is said and done, he takes Merlin to his room to look after the boy. This can be read as either Merthur or bromance (like in the actual series) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29490810 + + + Title: Honey & Hemlock Creator: TheCourtSorcerer Rating: Mature Length/Medium: 15,960 words Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur Pendragon Warning(s): Anxiety, Panic attacks, very brief scene featuring the sacrifice of one’s own life for ritual purposes (very very brief, not heavily described and non-graphic, not a Merlin Character) Summary: “When you said the Sorceress didn’t spell you. You were lying. I know you were, you did that weird nose flare thing you do when you lie. What did she do, Arthur?” Arthur tensed. Did he really have such a tell? Damn Merlin and always being able to read Arthur like children’s book. “It doesn’t matter,” Arthur sighed in defeat, “She tried to something but it clearly didn’t work. I’m perfectly fine, as Gaius said, and when she finished speaking, she collapsed to the ground, dead. Her magic backfired and killed her instead of me, I suppose.” He purposefully left out the part about the gold and the touch and the constant buzzing beneath his skin. He was sure it was nothing, and he knew it would only worry Merlin further. When out with his Knights and Merlin, Arthur is targeted by a vengeful Sorceress (per usual), and struck by a spell with…Unusual effects. Dangerous effects. Faced with a fearful challenge, a treasonous secret to keep, Arthur let’s Merlin in to help him, only to discover Merlin could help more than he would have thought.
