Count things you were genuinely interested in, even if you didn't finish/haven't finished it yet. Best estimate is fine.

every time i watch anything with him in it (admittingly, predominantly from the Dropout app), i am reminded that Lou Wilson is the most handsome man to have ever lived. like, objectively. he just is. i will hear no arguments for any other person to be ranked higher. Lou Wilson: whose face single-handedly shows humanity can go no higher in beauty. he is THE most attractive man in the world. argue with the wall lmao

Last week we began the preparation of this young Chelonia mydas, a green sea turtle, that washed up on a Danish beach earlier this year (you can read a bit about the discovery here). It’s the first green sea turtle recorded from Denmark! The specimen is in *beautiful* condition, with just two barnacles attached, but the gut and cloaca seemed practically empty; we wonder if there might be plastic in the gut, but for the sake of the integrity of this extremely rare specimen, we did not dissect further.

Check out these awesome ‘teeth’ on the palate and the beak—the turtle solution to the loss of true teeth.

This kind of thing is a real highlight of the job. Such a privilege and honour to get to work with these special specimens of national and international significance.

A few more random snapshots of my beloved Cutty Sark. <3

-

The circular wooden item with the holes was something I hadn't seen before - it was suspended from the ceiling and intended to hold drinks and bottles to stop them tipping over or sliding off the table in choppy seas.

Also - as embarrassing as it is to admit - I legitimately didn't notice the model figure up in the rigging (fourth image) until I looked back at my pictures later in the day... 👀

could you draw Luzin with Larry (they could be chatting)?

They wouldn't have a lot to talk about (aka I couldn't come up with anything)

Have I convinced the natm people to check out lupin iii and vice versa or not yet?

imagine steve and eddie both being super competitive pto parents.

like their kid’s 1st grade class needs some matching t-shirts for their field trip on thursday? Hell fuckin’ yeah, eddie just got a new cricut. tie-dye anyone?

their elementary school needs a soccer coach? sign steve the fuck up. his husband is gonna make team shirts. go suck it, rebecca with the fake smile.

oooh, their kid has a fundraiser? takes the order form to work because ted down the street may have gotten the most orders last year but he’s goin’ down this year.

steve and eddie are both approved to go on field trips with their kids classes and eddie lowkey flips steve off from the bus as they’re driving to the water park while steve has to go to the museum because steve lost a coin flip.

Could you tell us some more about reader/julian's dynamic, please? I just really like your night gallery works and i'm v curious about julian 👉👈

I'm gonna save his backstory for a request/a night on the job fic, but Julian loves to push people's buttons. If you're easily scared or angered he's more likely to be buddy buddy with you. With how I've written night guard reader they arent really either of those two which he assumes them to be the former after their first night. He loses some interest at first, but seeing them survive so long he gains more interest in them. He begins to do something he hasn't in years which I'll leave in the tags to avoid spoiler for those who want to keep it unknown and starts actually crushing on them which leads him into breaking more of the art pieces out of jealousy.
