It turns out Lily Orchard can actually be funny when she's waffling and badly making up bullshit excuses on the spot when directly confronted.

oh my god I'm so sorry I keep posting about the permababy skin bullshit but some people in the tag are being fucking insufferable. "ummm reminder that there are permababy hatchlings on the site who have FUCKED (<- insane wording btw) and have offspring lists I bet the evil conservative puritan staff is gonna start banning people for that too!!!!!" - me when I don't fucking read staff posts and get really really mad over things that staff has explicitly said are not happening, because if I don't get disproportionately outraged over a pixel dragon game at least once a day I'll die.

hello. can you read. did you even read this. or did you just skim over it and then immediately log onto tumblr to write an angry post about how it's LITERALLY hays code 1984 jorjor wel puritan censorship. actual fucking tar pit mentality.

Anyway they won’t allow comments OR reblogs (my guess is so they can stay in their echo chamber and so they don’t have to own up to spreading misinformation) so I’m going to debunk this misinformation here on my own post.

Sharks are, in fact, NOT on the verge of extinction, that is clear by a simple Google search. Certain sharks species are ENDANGERED or VULNERABLE which has nothing to do with JAWS and everything to do with the fishing industry. Of course because they are endangered and vulnerable they RISK extinction in the future but they are not 'on the verge' of it.

List of endangered and vulnerable shark species

Sharks, rays, and similar species are killed NOT because of an American movie but because of overfishing of sharks. In certain cultures, shark fin soup is said to be medicinal and provide a wide range of health benefits. Despite no evidence of such being true, certain cultures still fish for sharks for their fins alone. This is deadly because of the way sharks breathe. They need to be in motion in order to breathe and without their fins they slowly suffocate to death.

Source of why sharks are currently endangered

Last, lets finally bring up JAWS and why this argument doesn't prove the point of "fiction can affect reality" in the way they think it does. JAWS causing people to be more afraid of sharks did NOT cause shark-finners and shark overfishing to occur or get worse. The "JAWS effect" doesn't actually exist in any meaningful way beyond people from the USA being more afraid of sharks. JAWS did not have that much of an impact in other parts of the world where shark fishing is common. Of course the movie JAWS DID inevitably lead to people killing sharks, but not nearly to the scale most assume. Shark-fishing tournaments were set up and fishermen at the time would catch as many sharks as they could. This did lead to a big decline of sharks in the US east coast due to the overfishing. Keep in mind that this, however, does not account for the millions of sharks killed for their fins every year.

Did JAWS have an impact on the way people (especially in English-speaking countries) saw sharks? Yes it did, the uneducated masses at the time had no idea how sharks actually functioned. Did JAWS cause a decline in shark populations in the US? Yes it did, fishing contests put in place greatly affected the sharks in the East coast of the US. Did this have a greater impact on shark populations as a whole and their decline? Nope! The biggest reasons sharks are endangered as they are now is because of overfishing, shark finning, and bycatch (catching a fish and then discarding it because it isn't the fish you desired/can sell).

Ah yes. Fake boyfriends. Fake boyfriends who sleep together, cook for each other, cuddle, and always turn to one another.

Uhm, can I have one of these Fake Boyfriends™️?

I watched 'The Magicians' a couple of months ago and I'm only sad I didn't watch it sooner.

There are so many things I love about this show. The world building and atmosphere are so cool and unique. When watching I found myself wanting to escape into Fillory alongside them.

What I appreciated about this show is that wasn't afraid to go into some darker themes and twist the mystical elements into something much more horrifying.

* MILD SPOILERS*

Characters dynamics and relationships are the heart of any show, and other than the beautiful world created, that is what this show nails. I still think about episode 5 of season 3, 'A Life In The Day ', where Quentin and Eliot grow old together in their pursuit of creating the beauty of the world out of mosaic. Just the simplicity of the meaning, a life alongside another is what makes life beautiful.

Or the scene where Margot hallucinates Eliot singing 'Don't Get Me Wrong' by the Pretenders. I loved their friendship so much.

I think this is why the last season was lacking, because character dynamics were off and the heart was gone.

Overall I still loved this show so much !!! And I love you Hale Appleman 💜💜💜💜

The last episode of 911 was heartbreaking. I really think little bobby was idolizing his dad "the hero". But that hero was violent and an alcoholic. Bobby still chooses to stay beside him, maybe because he felt pity for his dad or he was just expecting to see the 'hero' again. His death was terrible because Bobby's dad, was his model despite everything. I think him drinking at a very young age was a way to stay connected with his father. And maybe him, being a firefighter has something to do with it too.
