Friendly reminder this Mermay that if anyone needs a fish consult for realistic fishy behaviors to incorporate into their merms, I have about 30 years of experience keeping and breeding fish and could explain to you in biologically explicit detail the guppy reproductive cycle by the time I was eight. You want fish courtship nitty gritty? I've got it.

I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE.

THIS SEXY ASS FISH PINS HIS EARS AGAINST HIS HEAD WHEN HE'S:

ASHAMED

DEFEATED

Tense...? (I'll elaborate at the end)

Probably more tbh

AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY 🗣❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

In this scene, Steb has his ears pinned back. His ears naturally rest pointing outward from his head. In the second scene, it looks like he's holding them back, but if you look closer in the first one, they're actually just resting flat against his head.

I see a lot of people saying that it's probably due to him being sad about Maddie's betrayal, but I feel like that's a little too vague. YES, he's most likely sad that his buddy stabbed him in the back, but I feel like it's more a shame kind of thing.

IN THE GIF BELOW, you'll see what I'm talking about. He looks over at Caitlyn, but after giving her a small glance, he looks back down, seeming to show some kind of shame or defeat. (Maybe even hopelessness?) There doesn't appear to be an out in their situation, and Steb knows that. I suppose he COULD be ashamed that he had trusted Maddie, but I feel like it's mainly just the defeat from the battle.

Ears flat against his head:

Ears usual resting position:

You can see his whole ear in the kneeling scene, and it's clear that he's not touching it. His ears just naturally pin back during some situations.

Not only that, but there are multiple scenes where you can see his ears twich. (I picked scenes from the same episode since it's easier to see here.)

↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑

(In these two, you can see both his ear AND scale frills twitch)

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

(You gotta look closely for this one) ↑↑↑

But this is where my third bullet point comes in, as well as why I'm kind of iffy on it. During the fight with the shimmer guys, Steb almost gets FUCKING SPLIT IN HALF, but Loris comes in clutch and sheilds Steb.

While Steb is curled up for the impact, he pins his ears against his head, as you can see here.

I feel like him being "Scared" isn't exactly the reason why he pinned his ears against his head. During the whole fighting scene, you can tell he is QUITE terrified, but he didn't have his ears pinned back until the scene above. I feel like it's less terror and more tension. He tensed up and curled on himself due to him expecting impact, causing him to pin his ears back.

STEB NATION, HOW WE FEELING⁉️⁉️⁉️🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm not caught up with Critical Role but I heard something something Essek turns into a fish something something and my two braincells collided like the damn Hadron Collider to create something stupid as hell

Shen Qingqiu: I love reading.

Li Yu: I also love reading!

Shang Qinghua: I haven't read for fun in 3 decades...Maybe four?

[friendlyblock]

Do you like birds more, or do you prefer fish? It doesn't have to be pet related! You could just pick one you'd rather geek out on!

[avintmich]

Did you take a photo of me? A? What kind of fish is this? Well, how can you not know! I'll tell you blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.....

𖦹 L-O-V-E is you (and corydoraes)

in which your nerdy bf!leehan is completely smitten with his fishes...and you.

a/n: hi lovelies! i hope you're doing well! i couldn't not make a fic on nerdy leehan after that episode with soobin TT he's so cute when he gets all nerdy and excited. anyway, hope you enjoy, and if you do, reblog and comment!

warnings: mentions of marrying (is that a warning? idk)

words: 238

𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹𖦹

nerdy bf!leehan who would pass his time between staring at you and staring at his fishes, and occasionally you will join him in his little, nerdy hobby

more under the cut!

nerdy bf!leehan that will make you sit on his lap while he explains everything he knows about the different fishes he has in his aquarium, from the little ecosystem he created for them to his babies, his corydoraes

nerdy bf!leehan who's the happiest boyfriend alive when you ask him questions about his favourite fishes, his eyes lit up as he info dumps you about them

nerdy bf!leehan that is just one bit away to make a whole presentation about them, and present it to you on one of your date nights. even if, if he actually did that, you wouldn't listen: instead, you'd probably just stare at his pretty face, and the way he smiles when he mentions his "babies" is enough to make your heart beat faster.

nerdy bf!leehan who would try to convince you to adopt a fish, and when you finally say yes he'll take you to the nearest pet shop to buy you a fish, and now that he's already there, he buys a fish for himself as well, he can't resist the temptation...

nerdy bf!leehan who will buy the same specie as you do and call them wifey and hubby, because he wants them to be lovers (and eventually marry) just like the two of you <3

thinking about pokemon again and I'll never forgive them for getting rid of Lapras' fangs to make it look more cute and friendly or whatever

Eddie definitely has like a stack of books he got from the library when he was like 14 and just never returned. The books are on fish and the underwater world because Eddie is a huge marine biology nerd

There's a really fun little realization that I had (and decided Ardwin also got to have) very early in 6.2, during that bit where you're going around the castle and talking to all the voidsent.

And then Ardwin, because she's a giant fucking nerd about fishing, is like "OH- THAT'S why most voidsent look fucking terrifying - it's just like deep sea fish!!!"

Because the thing with deep sea fish is that most of them look horrific - huge teeth, massive jaws, all kinds of incredibly weird shit - as an adaptation to their environment. An environment, specifically, where food is extremely scarce, and if they come across prey, they cannot afford to let it get away. And for that matter, a lot of their other oddities are for dealing with an environment with very little light.

So, overall, conditions that are really similar to the Void!

And then you end up with voidsent that have huge ass claws. Or huge ass fangs. Or some other way of snaring prey, like prehensile hair. As well as voidsent with a shitload of eyes, or one massive eye, or no eyes (presumably using some other way of perceiving their surroundings).

DEEP SEA FISH!!!!!!!!!!
