#I Needed somewhere to yap

Vampires.

I cannot escape the idea I had while day dreaming the other day, so now I’m sharing it. Here’s how my silly little thought process went.

vampires suck blood. Cool.

mosquitoes suck blood. Less cool.

mosquitoes use proteins in their spit that make the bite not clot, making sucking blood easier.

vampires don’t seem to have to suck real hard to get blood from their victims, probably also have proteins.

the proteins in a mosquito’s spit is what causes our immune system to react and makes the bite itch.

A vampire’s bite would itch like fuck. On the neck too. With two puncture areas. Ugh.

yeah, that was one of my thoughts on the two hour drive I took to get with my family for thanksgiving. It’s been bothering me because I have no one to share it with.

cant get over the fungi on ruidus sorry. i have more to say

its implied that the reilorans are able to survive and farm the fungus, theres at least 347 different species of fungus native (?) to ruidus, and theres also slime molds*. evolutionarily (assuming the life evolved independently on ruidus which is a very bold assumption) this would imply that theres also prokaryotic life (bacteria, basically) and likely advanced eukaryotic organisms in the form of animal life, which we do see! its very possible that the reason theres so little plant life on ruidus is because something about the makeup of the planet is aggressively harmful to plants, if i had to guess its the lack of easily available sunlight due to the constant dust storms and the soil is probably unfavorable for growing. this probably means that fungus makes up the majority of the biomass for animals to consume or animals are much more adapted for absorbing nutrients from the soil/other sources.

i do think its interesting that fungus seem to survive and thrive SO well in the deep caverns because most fungus (on earth, and exandria. probably) are decomposers and need organic material to survive off of. they could be decomposing the crystal corpse of predathos though, which is the coolest idea in the world to me, or they could just do so well that they've created an independent ecosystem underground complete with its own n- and c-cycles.

the fungus on ruidus seem to take more after kingdom animalia in general, since theyre motile (for those unawares, fungus are actually MUCH much much more related to animals than they are to plants, so this isnt that out there) which is super cool. the myceits are somehow related to the fungi's sexual reproduction because we see the sterile mycelium on it's own and it doesn't seem to be producing any spores, where the myceits do have spore producing structures (specifically they have hymenophores, since they are most similiar to hymenomycete mushrooms). so i think its likely the myceits are just advanced forms of spore dispersal and will run around till they find somewhere favourable to drop spores (or passively will drop them as they move) and probably they have very short life spans </3 sorry myceits

also myceit = mycete = fungi kingdom. proof of earth-equivalent taxonomy existing in exandria? possibly why the ruidians call them myceits is because theyve seen botanists dream about mushrooms and refer to them as "mycetes" !

*gaz, the source for the # of fungus, seems to consider slime molds a kind of fungus, so its unclear whether all the species are actually true fungi, but i digress because slime molds are closely related to fungus anyway. also 347 is a really low number of species for an entire planet, but whatever.

THEIR BACK IN MY FUCKING HOUSE AGAIN-

[yuwuta]

yuuta exhibits such previously abandoned, recently adopted dog behavior. incredibly anxious all the time, even though nobody’s out to get him or leave him behind. waits for you to return home or from school or from work excitedly, just to see you when you walk through the door. follows you around senselessly, hovering in your space just for the sake of companionship. initiates affection in prodding ways—starts off next to you, then a hand on your thigh, then deems it safe to lay all the way down, then slowly pushes his head into your lap. gets up whenever you need to get up, and resumes his position as soon as you’re ready. brings you gifts as a sign that he’s thinking of you, and maybe because he likes the affection it brings out in you, maybe because he likes the gentle affirming touches of a hand in his hair or a pinch to his cheek. rests his head on your stomach or his chin on your shoulder when he’s sleepy, stays there, immobile, and will not move unless absolutely necessary. sometimes he gets surprised when he hears you calling for him, there’s a moment of disbelief as he thinks “me? really? you need me?” but it’s very quickly overshadowed by this compulsive need to show up, to please, to do anything for you, which is why he always answers when you call. he doesn’t realize that he has puppygod eyes, especially when he’s excited or confused, but he does and it’s incredible endearing. very reluctant to share your space or attention after a while, considers that to be sacred and he won’t risk being let go or lost again, so as a safety precaution, he keeps himself right by you, waits for you always.

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

[ta1ntd]

I do understand how a lot of people kind of dislike the ending of banana fish because as a viewer you tend to want your faves to be happy and stuff but I feel it makes complete sense if you look at it through Ash's pov. To me it makes sense why he would chose to die in that moment because getting stabbed there was a reminder that there's always going to be someone or something that is against him and that would then put people he cares about in danger, it's a pattern that happens throughout the story and generally through his life and so the response of choosing to die so no one will be hurt because of him makes complete sense in his own head. Along with this I do think that to him his death wasn't really sad because he died believing that not only he had protected the person he cares the most about but that there is someone out there that cares about him deeply and to me at least it feels like a fitting conclusion to his character despite it being extremely sad to watch.

omfg i love haitham but he is. such a yapper /aff you write him so well

the day will come when people will recognize the difference between an actual yapper and someone who provides all the information they're being asked without holding back details because that's what they're being asked to do and that's what the situation needs; and that day i will actually risk writing a haitham-pov haikaveh longfic

Watching BBC Sherlock finally, not as bad as I thought it was, but WHY is Sherlock such a dick???

I like the show so far, but WHAT did they do to him. That is NOT my Sherlock Holmes. I'm only on the first episode, so it may get better, but I just cannot get over how much of a dick he is.
