Opinions on this sturgeon

I think he's scary as fuck

I can understand how seeing such a large fish incites fear in you; it is a base survival instinct that “bigger than me” = “going to eat me” in our minds. But I am glad to tell you that this gentle giant is a white sturgeon and he means you no harm. In fact he has no means with which to harm you.

About the only way that people are killed by sturgeon fish is being knocked from their boats by a surfacing sturgeon and drowning or being pulled from their boats by a sturgeon on a fishing hook and drowning. Both deaths are preventable simply by wearing a life jacket (and learning to let go of a fishing rod).

Sturgeon also have

protrusible mouths ˎˊ˗

lacking in teeth; thus, they can only eat what they can fit into their mouths. The white sturgeon is a member of the Acipenser genus, by the way, which means that their mouths are on the undersides of their bodies (ventral). For this sweetheart to eat you, you would have to be less than a foot tall and laying directly under him.

And you know, he doesn’t want to eat you anyways. He is very happy eating insect larvae, worms, crustaceans, and small fish. He is actually very nice and he wants to be your friend. He will have no problem respecting your personal space and will happily enjoy your long-distance friendship from the bottom of the Fraser River.

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?

Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

Some of you may know that I'm an absolute fucking sucker for a weight gain as healing narrative so I'm applying that to the 14th Doctor babey!! He's finally well rested and well fed he's not quite literally running himself ragged. I think in the first year or so of living with Donna and having, you know, consistent meals he does start to lose some of that gauntness. His cheeks start to round out, his ribs stop poking through his undershirts, he no longer needs 3-4 layers of clothing to fill out his silhouette. Donna does see the change and doesn't make a comment, but it really hits her when she hugs him and he feels more there. His body changes in a way that shows that Donna has found him again and treated him with the warm sentiment of "I love you. I want us both to eat well", and isn't that such a wonderful way to change?

This is a sturgeon appreciation post.

I love those little guys.

Beluga, Atlantic, Lake, Gulf, you name it.

I am appreciating them all right now

Every time The Doctor goes "I am very old and have seen so very many things" and the person they're talking to goes "wow, we must seem so tiny and unimportant compared to that" and the Doctor goes "actually I am fascinated and a little bit in love with every single one of you" I cry a little bit

you should commit to the bit of being yourself always

It's a shame you're not a woman anymore, cause she would have understood.
