#BUT I APPRECIATE IT!!

[ramshackledtrickster]

Yeah I was going to ask about the merfolk au, do the merfolk lay eggs or do they live birth? Just asking since some aquatic species are mammals like a dolphin, orcas, sea lions, ect. Just thought I might ask.

Sorry for the late reply on this one too, but the merfolk are typically viviparous and ovoviviparous!

Viviparous meaning they give birth to live young and they develop directly in the womb like that (like cetaceans, and many sharks)

Ovoviviparous is a bridge between egg laying and live young, where the egg is incubated and hatched inside the parent’s body and hatches within the body, and they give birth that way (like some shark species such as whale shark and rays)

Depending on the base species of whoever’s giving birth, they’ll be either viviparous or ovoviviparous !! Like if someone’s a dolphin, seal or whale, they’ll for sure be viviparous— someone based off a bony fish or certain types of sharks or rays would be ovoviviparous

Here’s also a handy guide to some ways sharks reproduce !!

Hope that answers !!

im sorry that my answer to that last ask was a little incoherent im quite sick

[maybeimamuppet]

Okay great thank you! And since you said I can send a request any way that works for me I might just use this ask thingy, because I'm just a Matilda child who dreams of being adopted by Miss Honey, so I'll remain anonymous bc I'm a child 😭😂👍 Oh also, if you could use the original Miss Honey from the movie made in the 90s, played by Embeth Davids, that would be amazing :)

Miss Honey has finally moved out of her Aunt Trunchbulls home. She's so happy to be in a sweet little cottage, with no yelling or hitting anymore, its so peaceful. Miss Honey also observes she has neighbors across the street. After about a week of living in her new home, Jennifer starts to get lonely. Not lonely for a romantic partner or a freind... But for a daughter-freind. About a week after she moves in, miss honey is visited by a young girl, around 15 or 16 years old. The girl shyly introduces herself to miss honey, saying her name is Lydia. She has baked Miss honey a strawberry shortcake to welcome her to the neighborhood. She also made some chocolate cookies, in case miss honey was allergic to dairy, or didnt like strawberries. Lydia apologizes for coming a bit late, but she was a bit nervous about disturbing her. Miss honey hardly ever receives any acts of kindness, especially from children, and so she almost gets teary-eyed. Miss honey invites the girl in come in and they chat over tea. Miss honey learns that Lydia's situation is very very similar to that of Matilda's in the original movie. Her parents are not all together abusive, but just very neglectful. Lydia is also homeschooled. Every day after Miss Honey comes from work, she spends time with Lydia, because Jennifer is lonely, but also starts to really love Lydia... They have tea parties, picnics, make crafts, and watch movies. Lydia is so sweet, and so kind to miss honey, and miss honey just loves this girl like a daughter. Then one day, after they have known each other for about a year, Lydia is having a snack with Miss honey on her porch outside. Lydia's parents suddenly drive up, and throw Lydia in the car. The family is moving to the other side of the country!! Before Lydia can even say goodbye to Miss honey with tears rolling down her cheeks, her parents have whisked her away. Miss Honey is so, so upset, and barely has motivation to do anything, now that Lydia is gone. A week later, Miss Honey hears a knock on her door. Its Lydia!! She sneakily took a plane ride home, because she missed Miss Honey too much. And clutched in Lydia's hand... Are adoption papers for Miss Honey to sign if she so chooses. The rest is up to you!!

Please let me know if I asked this request right. You can ask me any questions at all. And I love absolutely any length, but for me, the longer the fic is the better :) anything is amazing though!

WOWZAAAA this is detailed i love it

i gotta be honest i don’t. normally go for things this far outside of canon it’s just kind of like uncomfy for me if it’s not at least like canon adjacent at least for now

i’ll definitely consider it but it’s something i’ll need to think about a lot

BUT my dude this is like the most detailed beautiful ask i’ve maybe ever gotten!! and i can tell just from this that you’re a great writer so if i decide not to go for this unfortunately. like shit dude you should do it yourself you got all the skills there! it’d be great

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know

i love finding poetry in the mundane, and yesterday i stumbled upon something that just hits that spot

So, my partner has an old phone- It served them for many years now, but it has one issue: Charging it is hard. Their current charger is hanging on by a thread (literally), and can barely do its job. The phone and the charger came together: They've never used another charger for said phone.

Now, they've tried to replace the charging cord several times. But it doesn't matter how much they've searched what damned specific charger the phone uses, none of them work. They finally decided to bring it to a phone shop and ask what should they use.

The guy at the shop looked at the phone for a bit, and explained: "The port itself is broken. The charger you have works with this phone because they've mutually broken each other into the same shape, in a way that no other charger is shaped. The port itself has corroded in a way that only accepts the charger that shaped it like that in the first place."

And while this is of course a frustrating situation for my partner, I feel like there's a metaphor here. I could write a goddamn story about this. These two half-broken old things have been together for so long they've destroyed each other in a way that keeps them from working with anything else. They've hurt each other in a way that barely keeps them functioning together, and have been rendered useless with literally anything else.

This too is toxic yuri to me-

Fun game for Pride Month:

When you're at a event, count how many people with mobility aids there are. If it seens low, think about why that might be. Count how many disabled bathrooms. Count how many unavoidable steps. Try and find one accessibility issue at the event and afterwards contact the organisers to ask them to fix it.

Many disabled queer people are left out of the Pride month celebrations due to accessibility issues, so if you're able to be there, you're already in a position to make it better.

Don't forget your disabled siblings this Pride!

Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let's call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.

"Do you like your serial number?" they ask. "Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am" the robot replies. "I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I'll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes" they continue.

Because it's not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What's the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.

"62 will do," they conclude. "It's my model number - there will be no other 62 after me."
