[coffeeandteatomatch]

“people can’t handle any mental illness other than anxiety and depression” bestie people can’t even handle anxiety and depression if it has any real impact on your life

🦴 THE HORRORS THAT NEVER FOSSILIZED (Now featuring the Doom-tier statistics your timeline forgot to fear.)

---

Let’s talk about the gap.

Not the known. Not the fossilized. But the soft-bodied nightmare interval — the long dark between epochs where monsters left no bones but changed the entire shape of survival.

> Over 99.9% of all species that ever lived are extinct. > And according to paleobiologist Jan Zalasiewicz, less than 1 out of every 1 billion organisms becomes a fossil. > Translation? > The fossil record is the biological equivalent of a tweet with no context.

Now factor this:

The earliest known fungus fossil? 2.4 billion years old. It predates plants. It predates animals. And according to science writer Ferris Jabr, fungi may be Earth’s oldest apex predators — killing by chemical warfare, digestion, and neural hijack.

Now imagine a world where the apex predator wasn’t a raptor or a sabertooth — it was a wall of spores waiting to turn you into a sentient fondue pot.

No gun. No cure. Just you melting in a hallucination while the forest applauds.

Let’s go deeper:

> The Devonian Period — > 419 to 359 million years ago. > Commonly called “The Age of Fishes.”

But really? It was Doom on casual mode.

Predatory placoderms like Dunkleosteus — 30 feet long with armored jaws strong enough to bite through bone.

Ocean floor crawling with eurypterids — scorpion-like sea demons over 8 feet long.

And above them? Primitive air, barely breathable. Gravity unforgiving. Radiation levels higher. No trees. Just fungal towers, acid rainfall, and skies that looked like a biblical curse.

Now imagine being dropped into that world. No suit. No weapon. Just vibes.

There’s no Wi-Fi. No med kit. No Star-Lord charm to talk your way out.

Just the realization that Earth was once a place where everything pulsed, twitched, or hissed with a hunger your ancestors learned to fear in their dreams.

And the worst part?

> You’ll never see it coming. Because the most dangerous things never had bones. They never needed them. They digested you before the fossil record could log your obituary.

Modern humans? We’re 300,000 years old. Blink of a cosmic eye.

Before us?

> Life on Earth was shaped by at least 5 mass extinctions, each more terrifying than the last:

The Ordovician-Silurian extinction – 85% of marine species gone.

The Devonian extinction – lasted 20 million years and wiped out reef systems built by microbes.

The Permian extinction — AKA The Great Dying – 96% of marine life – 70% of land species – Even insects got wrecked.

And somehow your lineage made it.

Not just once. But every time.

So the next time someone tells you time travel would be cool?

Ask them:

> “Can your immune system handle airborne prehistory?” > “You ready to breathe spores that predate mitochondria?” > “You sure that patch of moss isn’t thinking about digesting you right now?”

Because Earth didn’t come from Narnia. It came from blood.

Even now, we don’t understand most microbial life. > 1 gram of soil contains up to 1 billion organisms. > 99% of them are unclassified.

So what lived 400 million years ago? What breathed? What waited? What thrived for 100,000 generations and left behind zero bones but one terrifying whisper passed down as “monster,” “spirit,” or “don’t go in there”?

These weren’t hallucinations. They were early trauma responses to surviving an uncatalogued apex predator.

And now? You walk this world like it's tamed. But the fossil record is lying by omission.

Because what got preserved wasn’t always the most important. It was just the most durable.

The scariest creatures? They evaporated. They flowed. They pulsed. They forgot what bone even meant.

So sleep tight. Charge your devices. Sip your latte.

But if you ever hear a growl that doesn’t echo… Or see moss that seems to breathe… Or feel your legs lock up before your brain says run—

> Remember: > You are the child of things that got away. > And the world was never ours. > It was leased through extinction.

🌱 Reblog if you believe some creatures were never meant to be found. 🧠 Reblog if this post made your evolutionary trauma twitch. 📚 Reblog if your gut says: “Our ancestors weren’t making shit up. They were trying to warn us.”

Girlhood or something like that

[coffeeandteatomatch]

the "I'm not a drinker myself" to gradually becoming an alcoholic to numb out the pain pipeline

the "I don't want them to change me. turn me into something I'm not" to being turned into a mutt version of himself pipeline

the "I do everything in my power to protect my sister" to losing her anyway pipeline

Comparing Haymitch and Katniss' narrative styles is so funny to me because he's a yapper and she's a gatekeeper. He drops more lore on D12 in the first two chapters of SOTR than she does in the entire trilogy.

Haymitch is like "Yeah, so this person is related to this person who's related to this person and things are this way because of this and this thing actually came from here and this person is actually my best friend and also here's this extra tidbit of random info cause all my lore dropping comes with it's own additional bonus content and all my unnecessary commentary."

And Katniss is over here like "Tf do I care for if y'all know all the lore of District 12? I'm talking about my beautiful husband's beautiful eyelashes."

[coffeeandteatomatch]

the way haymitch must have seen it as all his ghosts coming back to haunt him at once when katniss walked onto the train with the face of burdock and asterid, the pin of maysilee, the voice of lenore dove, and a background so devastatingly similar to his own. of course sweetheart slipped out. and of course he did everything he could to keep her alive

[coffeeandteatomatch]

"isn't it unrealistic that every time some rebellion shit goes on in District 12 it's someone related to or connected to Lucy Gray" no because Snow committed the cardinal sin of dating someone from a big family in a small town

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.

Your friends watching something for the first time and getting to that scene VS you, the knower.

[coffeeandteatomatch]

wtf has happened I haven’t been on here a ton for a while and tell me how it’s somehow more toxic on here than on TIKTOK??

y’all we’re losing the plot just be kind and assume good in people

[coffeeandteatomatch]

[coffeeandteatomatch]

[coffeeandteatomatch]

pulled an all-nighter and then promptly passed out, i drew this sometime and have no recollection but i think i get what i was going for

[coffeeandteatomatch]

patience is such a compelling dynamic in relationships sorryyy it’s the peak of romance to me

[coffeeandteatomatch]

everything is kinda horrible rn but hey!

guess who got honors on their ballet exam!!

yippee

[coffeeandteatomatch]

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
