Fish fact #781

European pilchard!

They live in schools near the upper levels of the water column (25 to 100 meters), moving even higher during the night to feed on planktonic crustaceans! These fish live up to 15 years, and reach their full size at about 8 years of age.

Pilchard in da cement mixer! Where will she go?

How much do we love our cat?

£1311.34 apparently, because that was the cost of her day trip to the vet today*

Which comes on top of the previous bills she’s run up on checkups, meds and blood tests within the last month

And this ^ is why we have (had) a pet emergency savings account, so when things like this come up unexpectedly we knew we could pay for it without having to choose between that and things like paying the bills or buying food. And this option doesn’t screw you over like pet insurance can by refusing to pay out for... reasons

* That covers sedation, ultrasound scan and analysis, x-rays and analysis, blood tests, and a liver cell sample as well as lab processing fees.

The fee breakdown suggests they’re happy to shave your pet as necessary for no additional charge. They probably do that bit for fun!

And that’s the costly little madam right there

Hopefully they’ll be able to tell us what’s wrong with her when the test results come back in about a week.

Toy Soldier vs Drumbot Brian contrasts save me <33

Smth smth, the inanimate being choosing to carve and force a piece of life inside itself. The human who was forced to become an object, a robot, with no choice in the matter. The usage of it/its to dehumanize oneself as a means of reclaiming an identity vs the usage of he/him as a means of reclaiming the human identity taken. One who's angel voice pierces through instruments and other singers like when it sings vs the one who rarely sings unless the entire crew sings, so that his voice may be drowned out among it all. The Toy Soldier who completely halts the pacing of another mechanism's song (gptvtmk) to do a heart wrenching solo that temporarily takes the spotlight while refusing to have an independent backstory song vs Drumbot Brian who does have a backstory song, but refuses to sing it unless alongside his other mechanisms and has someone who wasn't a part of the crew at the time be the main singer. Hell, just the difference in focus on title between their songs "The Toy Soldier's Song" which puts all the focus on the Toy Soldier vs "Lost in the Cosmos" which focuses squarely on the situation. The way neither of them have complete control of their actions, not when a sharp order or the flip of a switch may change them in an instant.

I meant to ask this last night but absolutely conked out; dr pilchard and Marquis De Alltheknives? For tradeses I want to draw you a little gift (<- this part is not optional I’m going to draw you a little gift either way)

:^O U DONT HAVE TO DRAW ME ANYTHING… but also 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

the Marquis de All the Knives you say….

1000/10 worthy foe

(also dr pilchard i Guess sorry i dont really have a decent design for him hes just a sweaty mildly homicidal nerd in my mind 😔)

I think Scoop is a social experiment

[justpent]

the order of description in tidodp implies the order in which pilchard tried those methods.

which implies that he first tried "brute force alone", which appaerently was enough to seize BOTH tim and ashes

which also implies that brian couldnt be taken by force, but "marched at gunpoint" he just. walked there.

which Also implies that it was just then that he tried telling ivy that there will be a book fair

which ALSO implies that he didnt even think about just. telling toy soldier to come. and it finally came becuse everybody else did.

which, finally, implies that what it took to get MARIUS to sit in one place was not:

brute force alone

computer virus

being marched at gunpoint

prospects of a book fair

chloroform

peer pressure

octokitten pressure

but he Did come when he was "asked nicely", and somehow it was the last thing pilchard thought to try

The average person owns at least seventy knives" factoid is actually just a statistical error. The average person owns around ten to twenty knives. Million Knives and the Marquis de All the Knives, who both own upwards of nine thousand knives, are outliers adn should not have been counted.
