—So, Edward Hyde as Facilier?

—Yes, ma'am

Sometimes I really miss the old manipulator, mischievous and mystical Hyde (I like the character development but anyways)

PS: I'm proud about the light and shadow work here

You are everything I aspire to be

If parenting has taught me anything, it is the importance of getting down on your hands and knees and teaching not just facts, but love and enthusiasm for the natural world.

This is my son Q and me. I have dozens of photos like this by now, even though he is just two years old.

Every chance I get, I will kneel down with him and show him the little creatures all around us. Especially when they are frogs. He loves frogs for some reason. No idea why.

It is important that we all see this together. It is beautiful. It is magnificent. We are here. It is improbable to the highest degree. It is fleeting, but it is everything we get. And we can get so, so much of it. If we just get our faces into it and really absorb it.

So that's what l'm trying to do here, I guess. Get all of you to join me in the reeds. And I am so happy to have so many of you along for the journey.

I'm gonna throw out all my theories/predictions/guesses for this season/the finale in no particular order just so I can go back and reblog this if any are correct. Some of these are mostly crack, but hey why not?

1. Kodiak is Cabin Daddy's son/relative and has a connection to the Wilderness through him.

2. Lottie's vision of the stairs under her apartment was a prediction of the future where she tried some sort of ritual, prayer, or offering post-wilderness but still as a teen -> leading to her hospitalization.

3. Kodiak is going to turn on the girls.

4. Misty will have a moment of self-realization due to Walter and it will either bring them closer, or she will kill him.

5. Callie is going to hurt or kill someone unintentionally (bonus points if Shauna uses this as leverage to keep them "a family").

6. Shauna or Melissa or both are going to kill Alex.

7. Jeff cheats on Shauna with the hotel lady.

8. Mistynat in the 90's timeline? (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE)

9. Other Tai manages to save Van, but the cost of doing so is more than just the life she took.

10. Shauna still doesn't believe in "It" in the modern timeline/never has.

11. Walter is gay. (TFYM YOU LIKE SHOW TUNES, FAGGOT?!)

12. Walter also isn't who he claims to be!

> He's definitely not law enforcement; he wouldn't have killed a man like that if he was

> He has a LOT of money, and his interests line up with Misty's a little TOO closely for it to be coincidence....

> But why Misty/the Yellowjackets?? Does he have some sort of connection to them?

13. Hannah isn't pit girl. Additionally we don't find out who is this season.

14. Shaunahat lesbian sex scene in adult timeline (I will pay good money for this!!!)

15. The frogs secrete venom from their paratoid glands (or something similar) that contains high amounts of DMT. During the mating season they uhhhhhhhhhhhhh rub the glands around everywhere to release pheromones as part or their mating patterns, but either the frogs themselves, or plants they've scented on have been consumed by other creatures. So the DMT accumulates in the ecosystem there, resulting in biomagification of the substance which is causing the Yellowjackets to experience the psychotropic effects of DMT merely from the plants and animals they consume. Additionally, smoking the frog venom can cause one to experience the effects so if the frogs scented on the wood they use for fires or something that could also be a way of getting high from it? (See: Cane Toad venom)

Now these frogs are frogs and not toads and I'm pretty sure this DMT venom trait is found only in toads that I'm aware of...but what are the chances the writers know that?

Additionally I am no biologist and I'm loosely stringing together concepts I somewhat know something about!

16. Shauna didn't kill Lottie.

D&D Party! And our dearly beloved NPC who has the misfortune of regularly following us into combat.

I made them into stickers for myself and my dm.

HE LIED. HE SAID HE WOULDN’T TELL. Now look at me—back in the grip of the frog agenda, all because my own blood couldn't keep his mouth shut. I had no choice. This is justice.

im on one tonight with TDC skeksis analysis. anyway i like imagining that there was some moment (or several discrete moments) for every skeksis where they thought of turning back and getting put of the skeksis insanity pact before things went too far. like some moral dilemma was put in front of them related to their specific role within the skeksis empire where they could have chosen to back off or double down. and all of them doubled down.

Oh you like frogs? Name every frog then

We have attended two Fantastic Talks at #WCH10 by Awesome Frog Scientists Britt Mitchell @biologist_britt (Twitter & IG) and Mikaeylah Davidson @microbemik (Twitter & IG) 🐸🐸

Congratulations to both for such engaging talks showcasing exciting frog research!

can we just talk about the stede/izzy dynamic after episode 5?

specifically how Izzy is still acting as a first mate. he can't be that for Blackbeard anymore, and (after first regaining a prosthetic) he's refinding a sense of purpose as acting as first mate for Stede. showing him, teaching him how to fight a be a pirate bc that's what he knows best.

and how that shows not only Stede's character growth as a captain, but also Izzy's as taking agency over the relationship he had with Ed. he still needs the stability of a authoritative figure- the structure of taking orders and feeling useful (which he is also working through)-

but at the same time getting that from Stede instead of looking for it in Blackbeard. bc it was toxic and harmful through Blackbeard, and Stede has the same strength while being less volatile. so Izzy can find the comfort and familiarity of captain/first mate dynamic without the toxicity
