#by the skin of your teeth

[montereybayaquarium]

While shark teeth tend to get a lot of attention, it’s the teeth on their skin that you should brush up on! Shark skin is covered in tiny, flat pointed scales that are called dermal denticles—which literally means skin teeth. If you look at a shark’s skin under a microscope, you’ll see that the scales are a series of overlapping teeth that result in a rough texture.

These pointed scales reduce drag on sharks as they swim, making them stealthy and fast as they cut through the water. This jagged texture also keeps fouling animals (like barnacles) from being able to settle on their bodies and slow them down, which is helpful when you’re a speedy top predator. 

TLDR: sharks are covered in tiny teeth and this makes them better swimmers. How’s that for a tantalizingly toothsome fact?

undyne has shark teeth that regenerate infinitely and every time she has warrior training with papyrus he inevitably knocks out 3 or 4 of them, which is fine, she's used to it. she tells him to keep them as a keepsake. by the end of their first year knowing each other he makes her razor sharp teeth-covered braces as an anniversary gift.

Okay so we can agree we sometimes get the dancey, zoomie urges from deity love but oh my gods have you ever wanted to start making loud noises out of nowhere and clawing and biting at them out of affection or am I desperately in need of some sort of mental reevaluation?????? kind of like how when a cat tries to play with you they start kicking and biting at your hand or whatever idk

Been thinking about Nico Robin again (when am I not tbh) and I don’t think Oda is using her to her full fucked up body horror potential. This woman can spawn any body part from anywhere. Show me bone swords! Have her line her arms in teeth like a goddamn leiomano! I want to see her trap people in literal rib cages! I’m begging you, Oda. Robin is a body horror queen she deserves better. Junji Ito would know what to do with her.

The desperate nostalgia of our recent modern era meeting Hollywood's inherent ageism should have been a well earned push back against actors aging out of the business but instead it birthed CGI monstrosities.

I simply just sit and wait for when ever Connor releases a new chapter of Sing before the Stars Burn comes out, or when 'Your Skin Beneath My Teeth' gets more chapters (I see it's on hiatus, but I simply wait)

I think this just tells me of all things that I need to finally start reading Brink. I think I didn't because of just how LONG it is, but I am tempted..

sometimes i am reminded of strange comments i receive on my art and i am still baffled.

like. no, people who are addicted to drugs shouldn't feel shame over their appearances, ofc. but also Why Would You Say This To Me.

I love Blue Beetle movie fandom. Most of us took one look at Jaime and said, "Ah yes. There he is. A neurodivergent bitch". I have yet to see anyone think he is anything remotely close to neurotypical, and it's beautiful to see :).

I’m addicted, like a drug, something instinctual beneath the skin I can’t control. I need another taste, just one sip, a small bite, I’m begging you

I’m so pathetic for this terrible addiction of mine, but you know what it is I desire, I may just eat you alive ~

I'm still here in case you were wondering
