DO YOU HAVE HEAD CANNONS FOR TOPADA???

This has been in my inbox for a bit now both because I got logged out of tumblr on my phone and couldn’t remember my password and didn’t feel like changing it to get back in. As well as I just wanted to refight him for this because he doesn’t take up much real estate in my brain.

- He and Moon Snail are good friends and where actually pen pals before the Grove got gunked and mail stopped coming and going from the grove

- He was a theater kid when he was younger. I have nothing to back this up except for vibes, his dialogue just radiates “I was in stage plays”

- He and Moon Snail are like the only ones I can think that wear no clothes, and Kril did mention that the social requirement for them is a pretty new thing. That being said I do think he had a little sun hat for gardening. Probably something made out of natural materials rather than trash, maybe made woven kelp or one of his molted shell.

- Tends to day dream a lot, not much else to do when he’s not tending to the Grove or training students. Why he mentions the going out by fighting ten or twelve guys. He day dreams about himself doing cool stuff a lot.

- By the time you actually get to his fight the loneliness is really getting to him. Everyone else in the Grove is dead, evacuated or a zombie at this point with him as the sole remainer. He has no clue where all his students and neighbors are besides the ones that he saw die or was forced to kill. Needless to say he was really glad Kril showed up, was quite the life saver.

Did you know that many gastropods can create a pearl, including terrestrial snails? The difference is nacre which is only found in some species of mollusks and which which gives pearls their beautiful shine. Terrestrial snails occasionally produce very small translucent white pearls which are usually lost. One non-nacre secreting sea snail, the melo melo, produces gorgeous pearls that are extremely prized and rare.

maybe one day I'll make a fic but for now I'm just dumping my thoughts. Another Crab's Treasure future...AU? headcanons? spoilers below

- Tortellini is the new mayor of New Carcinia! Nemma won the voting but dropped out because she wanted to focus on Bottomfeeders

- Nemma is still running Bottomfeeders and is the only person besides Chitan Kril is really close to after Konche's death, Firth's betrayal, and Tortellini's busy schedule. She’s been acting as a town therapist, but can't really be the best comfort to everyone. It's draining her, but she wouldn't dare tell anyone.

- Chitan, Topoda, Polli, and Sessi protect the Expired Grove together, and Chitan has become a little less quick to violence. Chitan, Polli, ane Sessi are dead set on discovering some new kind of ocean entity that might form from the souls of passed ocean creatures and fighting it, but there hasn't been any signs of one.

- Firth runs Shellfish Corp, which is dedicated to cleaning up all the trash he dropped. He's attempting to get New Carcinia to switch back to natural resources as currency, and it's really helping the Lower Crust get back on their feet. The Upper Crust refuses to give up their wealth. Firth also stopped taking part in the shell trading business after the boot fell on him, as it mangled his tail and he can no longer wear them. It lead to him losing his source of income, and gave him a change of heart. He even made himself a snazzy I.O.U. suit with a movie ticket tie to wear to formal events.

- Kril has been freeing the ocean of the gunk, traveling to places no one in the Slacktide area had ever heard of. He only comes back to New Carcinia to say hello to Nemma and bring goods back to the Lower Crust, mainly plants for the community garden. He hasn't spoken to Firth since the whorl.

I just read that Donald Trump and his circus took down a website called reproductiverights.gov

This was a website to help women learn about their reproductive rights in the US and to find health care.

This is absolutely disgusting so I’ll share in this post some resources in case you need them:

the under-praised backbone of any fandom:

fan wiki editors

fan wiki editors who move the wiki off of fandom.com and to an independent host, especially

transcript writers

image description writers

fic rec list curators

translators

everyone who archives an ephemeral ARG or website-based lore dump

everyone who archives and preserves related media in general, for that matter

Self checkouts are so inconvenient to use these days

Sorry Firth, Kril doesn’t have I Can Fix Him Disease and has his own problems to focus on. Firth will be able to fix himself though, maybe, if you apply enough of the Consequences™️ to him.

Also if you saw the version of this on discord where I forgot the back legs and shells, shhh, no ya didn’t.
