confirming the Ethiopian wolf pollination hypothesis seems so straightforward in theory, like just erecting anti-wolf barriers around some of the hot poker plants and seeing if those get pollinated at the same rate as the other ones, but also I feel like it could be some lab’s 6 year long project that ends up in Nature and answers more questions about wolf dessert time than I could ever think to ask. and also it would give more beautiful photos of wolves between 3 seconds and 1 hour into passionate nectar indulgence. so hopefully with the media attention they’re getting they can do that

I have a carnal desire to see Shang Qinghua timidly feed Mobei-Horse oats individually by hand.

Hand feed that horse man one grain at a time like a string of grapes

Just learned that when a sperm whale dives for food it goes so deep its lungs have to collapse and its heart beat has to slow so the pressure doesn't kill it. that must feel good as fuck if you're a whale. just diving until your heart slows down and the ocean pressure holds you like a weighted blanket. And it's cool and dark down there. I get it completely

Had Silna's father already cut his tongue out by the time she was born? By the time he met her mother? Was he ever able to speak to his daughter, even once?

And is the shaman's role always hereditary like this? It's certainly implied to be in the show. Did he know from the moment of her birth that he would be forcing this sacrifice onto her one day? Had he grown up his whole life under that terrifying shadow as well? Did he watch her mother patiently teach Silna her first words, knowing it all the while? How old was Silna, when she was told that it was her duty and obligation to cut out her own tongue?

We talk about the parallels between Silna and other characters like Crozier who have a burden of responsibility thrust upon them that they do not want and cannot handle. But all the British men did, in some way, choose the life that led them here (yes, even the marines, in that they chose to join the military). Silna is the only one who was born into the role she is forced to play, with no way out. The tragedy of the men's fates is that they doom themselves with their own choices, but the horror of Silna's is that she has no choice.

A new sculpture! Finally... I feel like I never sculpt anymore since I'm always sick or have some 500 other things going on or projects to finish, but I'm trying to schedule time to do it more often this year hopefully..! Just a generic fantasy creature as usual, but did try making the eyes a little more sparkly this time.. hrmm..

Actively shielding my eyes from a bunch of aus and my own story ideas clattering around in my head lest I start actually writing them before domesticating aliens is finished

I get how at times it's the only way to get time to yourself, but it's also something to be careful with the frequency of it so you don't just end up constantly fatigued for a while after you start fixing your sleep schedule. Like in my most frequent for it i was just constantly sore

Y'know that one scene from Lilo and Stitch where they're at the pound adopting him and Nani's like "does it have to be this dog?" and it cuts to Stitch picking his nose with his tongue and then back to Lilo like "yes, he's good, I can tell"

That but it's Nightmare picking Killer
