#but i enjoyed it being stupid and silly

[sophsun1]

Okay that was all kinds of chaos and even though I totally knew they were faking with the whole charles is dead thing and becky being the killer was a twist. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first season finale but I gotta admit even I didn't see Paul Rudd dying.

i think my favorite part of IT chapter two is when eddie crashes his car. like it kind of has everything. eddie insane road rage <3. eddie being a bit of a dick "it's my job to assess risks", it has "i love you mommy" which makes me want to jump off a bridge. eddie gesturing wildly instead of holding onto the wheel. his stupid fucking "edward kaspbrak speaking" <3 the face he makes when he's talking to mike lol. like he's expecting the car display to change. "EDDIE! are you okay?" "yeah! i'm pretty good."

[cat-mentality]

More of my favorite silly qsmp headcanons that have zero evidence in canon

The Spanish version:

Willy has creeper dna and he can communicate with them

He however has literally declared the whole species his mortal enemies, and the feeling is mutual

For some reason turtles really like Willy, Tallulah's turtles once staged a break just to hang out in his base (Philza was not pleased)

Vegetta and Rubius fought once and Rubius cursed him to be a werewolf, it was supposed to be temporary but Rubius legitimately forgot about it and Vegetta kinda of likes it now

Vegetta as a result will sometimes howl at the moon and he is like, weirdly, into smells, especially Foolish's for some reason

No one really questions it even if Maximus is the only one who knows he is a werewolf

Maximus is one of the only humans in the Island so he just takes the weirdness on strike, nothing fazes him

Maximus doesn't won a single matching pair of socks and its on purpose

He also owns more sunglasses than he does furniture

Roier is a spider hybrid and he can climb walls like one, he uses that power to scare the living shit out of people

He doesn't do it to Rivers anymore because one time her first response was to set him on fire and then yell at him while he was burning

One time he also took her makeup without asking and she chased him around with a ax

Mariana recorded the whole thing

As a payback Roier stole his glasses and Mariana had to walk around the Island seeing jack shit, he ended up groping so many people by mistake that he legitimately buried himself into the sand until Luzu made him some new glasses

Arin will sometimes hang out inside of people's machines just for fun (He is the one that taught Pierre's machines to swear)

Arin and the codes are enemies with benefits (Luzu refuses to acknowledge this)

Pol pulls out the "old man" card literally every time something mildly inconveniences him or when he wants someone to do something for him

Roier and Quackity always end up getting falling for it

One time Willy and Vegetta blew up a part of his studio and he dead ass pulled their ears and made them redo the whole thing

No one has gathered the courage to ask Pol what he is, but let's just say that when he says old, he means old

He and Abueloier are childhood friends

The reason Missa takes so long to come back every time he leaves is because he has the worst sense of direction ever, he has inadvertently managed to map out the whole Island when he just wanted to find a river.

The mobs just kinda stopped attacking him at some point because it genuinely made them feel bad, they will try when he is with someone else and some token attempts from time to time but mostly they just ignore him

Quackity will say the most absurd things about the Island with a very straight face and he always end up tricking at least one poor soul in believing his bullshit

Quackity can speak to ducks and they have very long and deep philosophical conversations about the meaning of life and the mysteries of the universe

Luzu one time found him while he and the ducks are discussing the dangers of capitalism and he just backed away very slowly

German got lost trying to walk around the Island and he still haven't found his way back, on a good note he has been adopted by the slimes because they like his shirt

Rivers can talk to chickens and they obey her orders, Mariana was once chased down by an army of chickens and he still doesn't know how that happened

Luzu can literally sleep anywhere, he once feels asleep in a bush of thorns

Roier however can only fall asleep in the best sheets with the most luxurious mattress, but he sleeps like the dead, Quackity likes to play a game called "how many random objects can i stack in Roier before he wakes up"

Roier still doesn't know who does that

Missa doesn't know that he can be really fucking scary when he approaches someone in the darkness and he has hurt his feelings many times when people screamed when he wanted to say "hi"

Am I being an obsessive conspiracy theorist or do The Four Fangs have the same symbol of the Shindo Dojo? Maybe.

My thoughts is that the four were in the dojo, perhaps when they were younger where they later formed The Four Fangs. There is also the fact that it is said that they have as a type of association with the Shindo Dojo from what is implied in the wiki of Chiaki, which the logo would give similarity to their alliance.

Also that despite the fact that they were feared and their arrogance (at least on the part of Chiaki), they ended up having their asses kicked by Mizu, who always criticized the dojo's poor fighting techniques.

I don't know, maybe it's a little silly but I've noticed that this show to some extent, everyone is connected if you take a moment to watch it carefully.

all i ask for from hl2vrai is that Baaulp enjoys playing Tommy this time

Introducing Vu and Hazrov, our 19th and 20th colonists respectively! Hooray! These lovely ladies were Zonovo's buddies in prison, they were just stronger-willed than he was, I guess, so it took longer to recruit them.

I can already tell I'm going to have so much fun with Hazrov. She's so scary. I love her.

Anyway, with 20 colonists, I finally decided to have a go at opening the Ancient Danger on my map. It was... Kind of uneventful, actually. There weren't even any enemies inside so that was boring.

Also, it turns out I have some strong opinions about persona weapons. I got so lucky getting Xanxalbur for Irwin pretty early on. It has such good traits. I'm never going to find a weapon this cool again, am I?

I love to imagine that bonded weapons are very sassy with their wielders. Irwin probably has to put up with so much crap from Xanxalbur.

feels lame but genuinely cant do it with dz and c romantic ships that arent skk. It feels physically incorrect to me. Hmnngggg kunikidazai? Stomach aches. Chuuaku? bad tingles in my hands. Odazai? I dont want to even talk abt that please

[rxttenfish]

hi !!! sending this on anon because i am rather nervous all things considered <:3 (i am lying to you, i have not considered 'all things'.) one monster prom fan to another (can we be compared using such broad terminology ? i feel as if i am domesticated compared to you... [compliment, or at the very least not inherently negative]) , i wanted to thank you SO SO SO VERY MUCH for giving miranda so much love and thought and mulling her over in your mind in such a ... refreshing way

i also really really really like miri , but i can only aspire to have your level of dedication . it feels almost like we are of totally different worlds... !!!!!

thank you for bringing in real world biology too :3 i absolutely adore your design for her so much (this is most likely not proper grammar, but it is very late and i am very cold and so i will hope with all my heart you will excuse this mistake. one of many, i should assume) - though !!!! i do have a question if that is alright ?????

i cant say that a marine macropredator of a significantly vibrant pink really strikes me as advantageous colouring - does the abyssal environment that you say the merfolk live in negate the need for camouflage and such ????? i apologise for sounding passive aggressive !!!! i am merely asking a question. cocking my head to the side if you will

additionally, i would like to ask something foolish. how do they acquire food? i dont want to say 'hunt', because that might seem insulting. historically were they built for stalking, or high speed chases, or...???? please, talk 'nerdy to me' as they say !!! <- in an entirely normal way befitting two strangers of course.

you know, i would have expected to hit the ask word limit by now. but it seems i have not. yippee !!!!

with my extra space, i shall add this: I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THE WAY YOIU WRITE MIRI . GOOD LOOOOOORD IT IS AMAZING HAVIJNG SOMEOENE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEYRE DOING IWIITH HER thank yoiu for making her at least moderately intelligent. i feel blessed <- is this all too harsh sounding???? im a little new to all this letter/ask-writing thing <:3

IN ANY CASE !!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOIU SO VERY MUCH. AGAIN. drops this and scuttles away

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/761693443676045363/1183251697129226270/ordered3.png

also i believe you can indeed tell, but i drew that in ms paint with my finger .. sorry that it looks like poop <:3

(moving the image out of the link just in case it breaks-)

AAAAAA THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! this looks so WONDERFUL i love the way that you've shaped her head and how you've captured how Chunky it is... i know its one of the things people have the hardest time drawing with her so its just all the more impressive how well youve managed to capture her!!!

i also love the little doodles eeeee..... please feel free to toss all ocs at miri, its enrichment for her <3 ironically gentle chewing/biting is a Play and Bonding thing for merfolk so she shall happily Bites Bites Bites back-

(also i LOVE her smile!!! you arent anthropomorphizing in the slightest for that - miri often does have very human expressions in a way that's odd for a merfolk, because she effectively got imprinted during her time spent inland... and its politically useful if you smile and match expressions with the people you're trying to work with anyways)

ill also go ahead and answer your questions because i can! very easily clarify on them!

the color: actually, being bright red and pink is actually very common for deep sea animals, due to the way light works at depth! its why i decided miranda was abyssal, because that felt like the most natural way to explain why she's pink, since it's such an uncommon color in nature.

basically, different colors of light have different lengths! red is the shortest wavelength of light, and blue is the longest. water might be clear, but there's a lot of water in the ocean, and the more water you add, the more it filters out light - which is why the bottom of a pool might be dark and shady, but if you hold a little of the water in your hands there's no shade. the ocean is a lot deeper than a pool, and so it gets darker as you go down, but because it's also clear, it doesn't filter out all that light at the same rate.

red, being the shortest wavelength of light, gets filtered out first, so red often gets quickly darker the deeper down you go, until it's completely black! camouflage is dependent on the environment, so their color and brightness has to match the background, but it also depends on the light that's hitting the animal. it's why fawns have dappled spots, or animals might have black stripes, so they can mimic the light of their environment. and when your environment has no red light, well... red's a pretty good color to be!

because of this, a lot of animals in the deep sea can't actually see red either, which is doubly the reason why you might want to be red! think of it like tigers, and how ungulates often can't see their orange, making them look just about the same color as the foliage around them when they're hunting! miranda might stick out on land, but that's just because we aren't seeing her in the environment she's made for, where she blends in with everything else around her as much as a pure black animal.

(it's also why her bioluminescence is blue - blue is the longest wavelength of light, and the one most animals can see at that depth. if she lights up, then she wants to be seen, and she can even alter her silhouette to appear larger or smaller or breaking it up into multiple shapes if she needs to. it's why her tapetum lucidum is blue when light's shone on it, because there is blue light to be seen at depth, it's just very dim!)

(this is also why giant squid are bright red, and why the stoplight loosejaw fish is so special! the latter actually produces its own red light, and can see red light, which means that it has a secret light that won't reveal where it is but will reveal to it where its prey is!)

food: this is something that depends a lot, because there are actually multiple different species of merfolk, which is mostly my fault because i don't always feel like i communicate this the best. they're all slightly different in how they evolved to capture prey, with abyssals in particular being fuckoff huge ambush predators that attack from below, and others being shallower-water hunters or more adapted for smaller, faster prey - but they all evolved from an ancestor with a fairly consistent prey-capture method.

in short, all merfolk are ancestrally evolved to hunt whales and other large prey items, with all the extant species still holding at least a degree of this. primarily, they were ambush predators who were good at getting in close to their prey before a sudden burst of speed. they would work together in close-knit groups (one of the big pressures for their increasing socialization and larger brains, to coordinate such groups) to all mob a single prey item at once, hitting with force to cause sudden trauma, and then using their claws, double-thumbs, back feet, and mouths to hold onto their prey and refuse to be dislodged. they'd repeatedly claw and use their strong bites and massive heads to rip deeply into their prey, causing further massive trauma and shock, and if that failed, bleeding their prey to death.

think of it like the raptor prey restraint model, just further taking advantage of the fact that they were underwater, where no one else has hands that could potentially rip them off. being smaller and somewhat less-optimized for marine life compared to things like sharks and whales and large fish worked for them, because they had a novel adaptation that allowed them to take advantage of things no one else could, and the numbers to make up for it. this is, likewise, why they never lost their hands and fully developed flippers, instead making their limbs as flipper-like as possible to make up for it.

then as time went on and certain populations became separated from each other, they adapted for slightly different niches, but all remain fairly closely related to each other as a genus.

in the modern day, most merfolk don't really "hunt" for all of their meals, at least not in the same way that we might think. don't get me wrong, they still absolutely hunt and it's a larger part of their lives than it is for most humans, but they have options.

mostly, the merfolk theory for their relationship with nature is to invite it in. this is not to say they aren't controlling and pruning it, but they do live underwater, and it's far harder to keep animals out than it is on land, so merfolk accepted it and worked with it. they'll work to promote growth around their buildings and where they live, fostering the growth of sea grass and algae and coral and other sessile animals, encouraging them to set down and grow in these areas, and they'll then let more wild animals move in, further encouraged by these natural sources of food and shelter, on top of merfolk working even further to encourage them in. they serve as a functional cleanup crew for the merfolk in these settlements, being allowed to eat anything that merfolk might drop or go to waste, and even moreso might be purposefully fed at times, or have specific homes for them built. merfolk will keep encouraging them and taking care of them until they become a biorich hotspot, creating unique oasises for wildlife to live alongside merfolk.

however, this isn't just a free-for-all, persay. merfolk will also purposefully prune these populations and control how they form, often removing "problem" animals and encouraging certain behaviors which makes it easier for these populations to live alongside merfolk, not viewing them as a threat, but also not viewing them as an opportunity either. they will directly shape how these areas grow and cultivate them on a physical level, often using them as an easy shortcut to literally grow their settlements and buildings. but they will also harvest from these populations and selectively breed them, until their cities and towns act as massive public gardens full of food to be caught, picked, and eaten at any time

as there are also a lot of (very politically powerful) nomadic groups, they also do this, albeit not always so directly. they'll have specific shoals or "runs" of fish that they will follow behind and take care of, managing as they move through the ocean in accordance with the seasons. this is where the whales still factor in, because the nomadic groups will also take care of the whales, purposefully keeping an eye on their pods and taking care of them and, when the time comes, being choosy and particular in which whale they select at any given time to be hunted, harvested, and eaten.

(there's also the way in which food is distributed and managed throughout the merkingdom, since some food is indeed shipped and moved throughout the different areas, but that's a different story for another time and i've talked enough)

BUT!!!! thank you so much and thank you for enjoying all of this that ive been making with miri, and thank you for giving me an excuse to talk more about her <3

hey guess how long it took me to stop scrolling through tumblr and post this stupid thing

the answer is

TOO LONG

[thefanciestborrower]

Yo yo, regarding the prompt thingy. XD I forgot what it was called and I'm on mobile. Anyway, I'd like to see you write something to this-

“Please stop licking me, I’m trying to focus.”

Thank you!!!!!

Keep prospering, peep!!!!

Yo thanks!! Okay okay so I know this was a pred prompt but I just had the funniest idea so whoop here we go-

“Please stop licking me, I’m trying to focus.” James groaned for what felt like the tenth time, pushing Ben’s face away from his arm. “You know I won’t taste like anything to you anyways so cut it out.” 

Ben simply shot back a cheeky grin in response, unfazed by being stared down by an annoyed giant. “Aww, you’re no fun.” He groaned, dramatically flopping against James’s side. “We’ve been working on this for hours and I’m bored! You can’t really expect me to just sit here and be boring can you?”

“We’re not being boring. *I’m* working on a very important presentation and *you* are being annoying.” James quipped back. “I didn’t ask you to come over you know. You just sorta invited yourself, so it’s not my fault you’re bored.” Ben just huffed in annoyance, practically slithering his way into James’s lap and displacing the laptop he’d been using.

James frowned at this, completely unamused by Ben’s antics. Really he should have expected him to get like this, but that didn’t change the fact that it was pretty irritating. Still, Ben wasn’t likely to leave him alone any time soon...unless... With a rather devious little smirk he moved the laptop completely to the side, rolling his eyes as Ben started to twist around to try and lick his arm again. Weirdo. “Okay you know what, fine. Maybe I am a little bored. But lucky for me I’ve got the perfect pick me up sitting right in my lap.” 

Ben stiffened, tongue just barely sticking out of his mouth in that stupid little blep face as he looked up at James. He didn’t remain frozen for long however, and the second Jame’s tongue dragged across his face he started to wiggle and protest. “Wait wait wait! I don’t have my console-“ Too late. His voice was cut off abruptly as his head was unceremoniously stuffed in James’s mouth and promptly squished into his throat with a loud swallow. 

Now normally James preferred to take his time when eating someone, but today it was clear he just wanted Ben down and out of the way. In no time the struggling human’s shoulders, then torso, then hips were gulped down and crammed into James’s flexible stomach, bulging it outwards under his baggy sweater. There was a reason said sweater was one of his favorite things to wear. Finally his teeth clicked shut behind Ben’s feet and with a final swallow Ben was gone. Or...moved to a slightly more convenient location as it were. James sighed happily, rubbing a hand over his stomach as Ben began to squirm inside. 

“You less bored now?” James asked with a contented sigh, licking his lips and reclining a little. 

“Yes!” Came Ben’s muffled response. “You didn’t let me grab my switch first so what am I supposed to do in here now!” 

James shrugged, grabbing his laptop. “I don’t know, but it’s not my problem.” Ignoring the offended spluttering Ben now seemed to be doing James simply plugged in his headphones and went right back to work, contentedly full and free from distractions.

sorry but this was in the euripides medea tag and it's exactly what I was talking about the other day irt ppl targeting anything that depicts female anger/violence in any way and deciding it's a threat to public safety and that it's up to them to save the world from the notion that such things are not what feminism should be. as if there's any chance that fandom girlies having sympathy for a murderous fictional character will create a systematic agreement that it's okay to commit murder or infanticide if you're a girl!!!!

I need to turn off notes on that coming of age post it does emotional damage to me everytime someone says something nasty about me in the notes
