[ID: The “Do you love the color of the sky?” post with a very long version of Hooty from The Owl House overlayed on it. The background is a gradient from white, to blue, green, yellow, orange, red, black, stars, gray, purple, pink, and white. At the top of the image is written “Do you love the color of the sky?”. We see Hooty stick out his tongue as he reaches for a fly. Going down his body, he has graffiti on him: two "S" shaped forms, and one that reads "Luz!". Further down, King is tied around Hooty's body. King’s torso is abnormally long, like a longcat version of King. Further down, we see a black textbox with “female presenting nipples” written on it. Initially, “fe” has been crossed out so it reads “male presenting nipples”, but then “male” also gets crossed out and the word is replaced with “bird”. The text now reads “bird presenting nipples”. Further down, Hooty’s body is shaped into a heart, as the two elderly lesbian demons from “O Titan, Where Art Thou” walk together, holding hands and blushing. They are standing on a white cloud and the sky behind them looks like a sunset. Below them, we see Steve who lifts up his hands and cries, the text beneath him reads “live Steve reaction”. As we descend further there is a group of Tumblr crabs. The textboxes above the crabs read “hooty”, “yo what era is this?”, “friend?”, “hooty”, “choo choo!!”, and “void”. As the background colour now changes from orange to black, we see a banner that reads "All Hail Queen Lulu" and we see Lilith from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina drawn in Owl House style. She is sitting on a bloody skeleton throne and there is fire around her to indicate we've now descended into Hell. Further down, a Bad Girl Coven t-shirt is on Hooty’s body. The background now turns into space and we see Eda’s right hand floating around. Further down, Hooty’s body is in a knot and after scrolling further down we see the Snaggleback hanging upside down on a rope that is attached to Hooty's body. The Snaggleback is sighing. Further down the sky turns into a blueish colour again and Braxas floats in the air holding onto a balloon that has flown up too high. He says “Daddy?” as he appears to be lost in the sky. Further down, we see Luz and Eda jumping very high, both wearing winter gear, like in Season 1 episode 12 "adventures in the elements", where they're catapulting themselves home near the end of the episode. Eda's right hand is missing. Further down near the end of the image, we see that Hooty is attached to a backpack on Lilith’s back and she is flying on her staff. Lilith is looking quite unimpressed with the whole ordeal. End ID]

Hey tumblr I want to introduce you guys to something beautiful
crab database. hundreds of photos of crabs identified by species. I found it by accident. I know of zero other websites with a similar purpose and I have looked because I would love to see websites dedicated to cataloging any genre of animal. Everything about crab database is wonderful and educational and silly.

Atlantic Ghost Crab, [The Cannibal]
[Ocypode Quadrata]
Ready to learn about the Hannibal Lecter of crustacean family? Hop on board!
Starter : The Atlantic ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata, is a species of ghost crab. It is a common species along the Atlantic coast of the United States, where it is the only species of ghost crab.
Some fun facts about this good spooky fella!
A 2023 study using the well known mirror test found that these crabs seem to be capable of recognizing themselves in a mirror. They are self-aware.
The atlantic ghost crabs must return to water periodically to moisten their gills, and when larvae must be released into the sea, but they are otherwise terrestrial.
Their stalked compound eyes can swivel to give them 360° vision.
Fun Fact! Ghost crabs are arguably the fastest terrestrial invertebrates, capable of running at more than a meter per second.
The Atlantic ghost crab lives in burrows (like fiddle crabs!) in sand above the strandline.
These burrows can be up to 1.3 m (4'3) deep, and can be closed off with sand during hot periods.
Young crabs are cryptically colored to blend in with their sandy habitats. This way predators are less likely to see them.
Ghostie mate can produce a variety of sounds by striking the ground with the claw, by stridulation with the legs, and an incompletely explained "bubbling sound"
O. quadrata is more active at night than in the day, and is an omnivore, eating clams, mole crabs, insects, plant material, detritus, and even other crabs. They also feed on the eggs and hatchlings of sea turtles.
CANNIBALISM!? Traitors shall walk the plank!
Ghost crabs are both predators and scavengers, and they feed at night. Their prey can be influenced by the type of beach they live on.
These fuckers arr' also mostly carnivores. They got taste, don't they?
