Hi I’m Walter! 🐊🦓🦒🐫🐪🦏🦬🐃🐂🦌🫏

more bugs more drinking

[howlingmoonrise]

btw if anyone ever wondered whether psoh is set in san francisco or los angeles or elsewhere, here's your answer: the official art seems to be more or less a match with the city of los angeles seal.

........with some artistic liberties taken, i guess. don't ask me why the bear is blue... or a rhinoceros @_@

[punkishtoxtricity]

band au for the animal army but instead of some cool rock band it’s just bear, pony, and rhino in what is basically the front bottoms

[ssreeder]

my brother got a puppy recently and he's so cute he's mostly black but his front paws and the bottom of his legs are white. anyway my mom was telling me she wanted to name the puppy Boots...and you know exactly where my mind went lol

sadly the puppy ended up being named Greg (objectively horrible dog name. blame my brother.) but maybe it's for the best just in case the puppy would ever end up in a similar situation like that poor komodo rhino

As much as Greg is not the ideal name for a new puppy…. I do think it at least doesn’t doom him the way the Boots might have lol. <3

RIP David Leland (20.4.1941 - 24.12.2023)

"As I’d left school with no qualifications at all, I was searching for something that I could do that didn’t involve qualifications. I couldn’t go to art school because you had to have an O or A level in art but I discovered that you didn’t need any dreaded qualifications to go to college to study to become an actor and I thought, yes! There we go! I was born to be an actor!"

"I think the writing started during the time I was training to be an actor. We were taught what was known as the Laban Carpenter psychology of movement, theory of movement. It had a language, a jargon attached to it, and we were encouraged to write scenarios – Al Pacino talks about this - which would give you a sensation of how other people behave. We would write scenarios and then perform them to each other and writing became a kind of secret obsession."

The DVD rental side of Netflix is shutting down. One of the first things I rented was the TV show Profit.

I still remember the entire summer I kept Daybreakers and watched it almost every day. I eventually broke down and bought myself a copy.

Sanemi’s babies

Sanemi has a small collection of rhino-beetles and is raising them in the garden of your house. Now, his favourite one is missing and he is incredibly distressed.

Pairing: husband!Sanemi x married!gn!reader

Japanese rhinoceros beetle: The Japanese rhinoceros beetle are commonly found in continental Asia in countries such as China, the Korean peninsula, Japan, and Taiwan. In these areas, this species of beetle is often found in broad-leaved forests with tropical or sub-tropical climates.

Sanemi barely gets nervous these days. Since the demons are dead and there are no threats except his own imagination and nightmares, he allowed himself to be more relaxed. Less angry, stressed and full of adrenaline. It’s nice to not have your heart beat at the speed of light and constantly feel alert and paranoid. His biggest worry these days is making sure to keep you happy and taking care of his babies.

They’re not human though, his babies, you two haven’t come that far yet. His Japanese rhinoceros beetles— the ones he raised all the way from eggs, to larvae and to full adult beetles. Sanemi feeds every beetle personally, gave them names, kept track of their relationships with other beetles and build them a habitat himself. He keeps them in the garden of your estate underneath the porch so no birds can pick them up. It’s a daily routine for him to pick the beetles up from their habitat and let them roam around in the garden, keeping a close eye to make sure they’re all safe.

But his time, after picking and placing beetles down onto the lush grass and greeting every single one personally, your husband noticed something. His favourite one, the one he named Geya, is gone. It had a beautiful dark brown, almost black shell and impressive horns on his head, with those he managed to win so many fights your husband put him up with! But now, he’s missing. Sanemi was frantically searching the self-build habitat and all the favourite places of Geya. He’s not on the tree stumps, not buried in the ground or inside the small pile of leafs. So, he counted through all the other beetles again; Onabai is present, so is Yogmei, Gakaya, Nemouk, Misuri, Nobushi and Jitanro. Where the hell is Geya?!

You noticed your husband running around in the courtyard like a lunatic. You stopped in your way to the kitchen for snacks to watch him lift rocks, check every tree on all sides, open the ground by digging with his fingers and counting through his beetles over and over and over again. Sanemi looked so stressed, the sleeves of his yukata crumpled up to his bicep, his veins bulging in his arms and threatening to burst from the sheer intensity of tension in them. You stepped onto the porch and watched your husband crouch over your planted vegetables, his hand itching out to rip them out and check in the soil for his beetle. That made you finally call out to him.

“Shinazugawa Sanemi, just what in the world are you doing?! Get away from my vegetables, now!”

He almost jumped out of his skin hearing your stern voice scold him. Your husband quickly straightened up and faced you, his fists clenched on his sides. His brows were furrowed in stress, but his lips were a little pouty. You saw him mumbling something while kicking his feet slightly. You couldn’t hear him across the garden, so you called out to him.

“What did you say?”

“I lost Geya!!”

Sanemi yelled, the shout being directed at himself and not at you, running his hands through his hair, still avoiding looking into your eyes. He looked embarrassed of loosing his favourite beetle, the one he was the most proud of. Geya had trouble walking during the first few weeks of his early developing after the larva stage, so Sanemi made sure to feed him all the nutrients and more, helped him train to walk by bringing him outside more and introducing him to the other beetles wich helped Geya to copy their walking style. You saw your husband sob after noticing how well his little pride and joy is doing and how his beetle is now walking without problems. Seeing Sanemi so distraught at his missing baby, you cannot not offer help.

“Where does he usually hide?”

“I already checked all his favourite places. He’s nowhere.”

He shrugged and looked around the garden to think of any other places Geya could hide. You nodded and decided to check the inside of the house while he searches the outside again. The beetle was not in the kitchen, nor in the bedroom, bathroom, cellar or wherever else you could think of. While checking the cupboards again in case the beetle was attracted to the foods you store there, starter laughing loudly and parading through the gardens. After lifting your head and glancing outside to the porch, you saw your husband proudly parade through your garden, with Geya sitting on his palms, wich he was holding far over his head. The brightest grin ever spread all over his face after finally finding his beloved beetle.

“Where was it?”

You quickly head outside, watching Sanemi petting and cupping the bug in his palm.

“He was hiding under the porch. You didn’t like the hot sun, didn’t you? Don’t ever do that to me again, okay? Be good now.”

Seeing your husband babytalk a beetle with a quiet, cutesy voice made you want to both laugh and cringe. You know that both reactions will offend him, so you kept quiet and let him have his moment with his so-called baby. Sanemi set Geya down in the grass, reuniting him with his other friends. He proudly watched them all interact and roam around for a moment before gesturing you to come closer. With a sigh, you obliged and stood beside him, glancing down at the beetles. Sanemi wrapped his arm around your waist and pressed kisses all over your cheek.

“I’m so proud of ‘em. So fuckin’ proud.”

Nodding, you placed a return kiss on his cheek. He grinned at the affection and got quiet, just watching his beetles walk around and push each other around. Sanemi broke the silence.

“Let’s have kids.”

“… huh?”

🎃

Fictober prompt: “I can’t find it”

I hope you all get the references with the names XD I wanna imagine Sanemi laying on his stomach, kicking his feet in the air and grinning while watching his beetles fight amongst each other. He’s healing his inner child! Also, I assisted in a school event today and managed to win a couple prizes during a game! I got a chocolate penguin, bread baking cylinders that are designed in different shapes for different shaped bread, an LED lamp and some origami paper!! I love bread so I am very excited about the shape thingies. Also, the chocolate penguin is already eaten and gone.

Anyways, make sure to EAT, SLEEP and DRINK enough!

Take care of yourselves <3

The Human Spider

The Team x Spider!Reader

summary: you are this universe’s one and only spider-person.

warnings/content: set before the 1st episode of young justice s1, a few marvel references, this whole thing is from the perspective of the reader who’s basically Spider-Man so the writing is a bit silly…but I like it

word count: 2.1k

a/n: this is essentially an introduction to this world, I’m really hoping I can pop a couple fics within this little universe 😭🙏🏽 if not then…I’m sorry LMAO. only time will tell. ENJOY!!!

Life was good.

I mean, how could it not be? You got to fight side by side with some of Earth's greatest heroes. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash...oh and Black Canary and—

Yeah. It was great. Not to mention how incredibly easy it was for you to defeat the bad guys you'd fought. You definitely didn't have four near death experiences because of them!

Well you did, but they were completely your fault and not at the hands of a couple of phony villains. They happened before you got used to your powers and gone through extensive training.

It seemed like a curse at first, but now you take them with stride. Your super strength foreign as you'd broke nearly everything in your apartment (that hadn't been a fun thing to explain to your Aunt and Uncle when they came home to a trashed place). Sticky hands well...getting stuck to literally everything. The amount of money you spent replacing your clothes after accidentally ripping up your whole closet only trying to get ready for school...that was also not fun explaining to your guardians.

And the webs. Oh boy. You didn't want to think about it. The hole in your wrist that shot out webs like a proper spider freaked you out the most. You nearly turned yourself in to the government after that one. It was something that took the most mental work to control, the weird hole (yuck) closing up when you didn't need it.

The one thing you did appreciate immediately was the abs. Yeah, those were nice to wake up to one morning.

Today was just another day in your life. A simple mission happening in the middle of the city. Actually it was a pretty unusual mission, it wasn't the regular Ice Family or Joker cult you were fighting...but a Rhino. Seemingly a man in a Rhino cosplay. And his henchmen? Definitely not something you see everyday, but you have seen weirder.

Speaking of his henchmen...there was a lot of them. Enough to keep each member of the team occupied. They had insanely advanced weaponry, surprisingly keeping the fight going for a while.

You hadn't realized so many of the guys were on you now, all surrounding you and trying to shoot at you with guns that weren't spitting out regular bullets.

You look to your side and see your best friend (he doesn't think so but that's what you tell everyone so deal with it sucker). Speedy, Green Arrow's sidekick, Roy Harper under the mask, and Pain in the Ass (a nickname you'd affectionately given him) to you.

You were in a compromising position, one that you could easily get yourself out of. But now you've spotted an unoccupied Roy and you wanted to have a little fun admist the chaos.

"Hey pain in my ass! A little help here!" The men were now taking shots with their fists, all failing to land their hits of course. And your best friend had completely ignored you.

"Hellooooo you know I'm talking to you!"

"I told you I wouldn't answer when you called me that. And I thought I made myself very clear." Definitely referring to the embarrassing way he took you down in front of the team after harassing him all week with the nickname a month ago.

"Well you answered right now soo...."

An arrow suddenly flew right past you, nearly grazing your cheek. A couple more followed.

"Um hello?! You nearly took me out!"

"That's my way of saying cut it out while saving your ass. And don't your spidey senses detect that kind of stuff? Danger and threats? You should've seen them coming."

"Huh. Guess you aren't as threatening as you think you are. At least not with that silly little hat on."

He simply glared at you. He was definitely going to kick your ass later. (Again).

With your guys dealt with, you turned to watch as Flash and Kid Flash emptied out a school bus on the road. Well, watched was a strong word. The job was done before you could fully process what was happening.

And suddenly that same school bus was being throw your way by the Rhino-man. Directly above your head actually.

Uh oh.

CRASH!

This was the third time that's happened to you this week!

He had good aim, you'll admit. It landed on you perfectly, but thanks to your incredible strength he seemingly didn't know about (how could he not? You're literally the Spider-Person from tv! Spider-Person...pfft what a stupid name. No one seemed to come up with something better), the biggest indicator to this being his shocked face. Oh how you loved that look. You threw it right back at him. Jokes on Rhino-man, you also had incredible aim.

"It's gonna take a lot more than a school bus to take me out!" Although you could feel the nearly broken rib and bruises you'd need to get checked out before you went home today.

You sighed happily, dusting your hands, "light work to me. Maybe try one of those city buses next time? Might be heavier and more effective-"

The words barely left your mouth before a city bus was being throw at you, "Wait I didn't actually mean it!" You caught the bus this time. And although your senses knew the danger was coming, it was still a bus that caught you off guard with its weight. Your legs and arms quivered at the force of having to hold it up, you could feel every bruise spotted on your body with the strain and it was not fun. While your body healed faster than the average human, it definitely wasn't fast enough to recover from the previous hit.

The back of the bus was fully tipped to the sky. You prayed there was no one in this thing. And sure you were strong, but there was no way you could tip it back on its wheels without potentially hurting someone.

Luckily Superman helped you with that, seeing you struggle. He easily took it off your hands (show off) and maneuvered it so it was placed safely back on the road.

"Thanks Supes!" He gave a nod and his famous smile.

It was only a couple more minutes of fighting and cars being thrown around before the whole thing was wrapped up. The adults would give their words to the police and news reporters, blah blah blah...

While they did that, you and your best friends, the teens (the cooler ones) got together like you always did after a mission.

Superman is being interviewed by the infamous Lois Lane (the talk of the teen team, there was definitely tension there).

All while Wally stands a little behind them making faces and ridiculous poses for the camera. The rest of you stood out of shot either cackling or rolling your eyes.

Wally steps back, clearly offended. "What? All he's doing is flirting with her in front of a live audience. Remember what they said last time? No one's gonna be paying attention to me."

Robin snickers, "What? The whole 'no one can take Superman' 'but you sure can'?" He repeats their words in poorly done impressions.

"That was totally an innuendo!"

"Very mature KF."

"Hey! Robin and Spider laughed with me. And I saw Speedy’s smirk, he sat there trying to pretend he didn't find it funny. Maybe you should get that stick out of your ass, Aqualad?"

Roy, completely serious, replies, "Now that's no way to talk to the adults' favorite."

You perk up, "oh, me?"

Your friends immediately explode into disagreement, apparently in disbelief you'd think such a thing.

It was a simple story, how it all came to be. You got bit by a spider (totally cool about it).

Totally didn't scream your ass off because of it and stay paranoid the rest of the day, constantly thinking there was a creepy crawler on you...no. You found out the next day that you weren't actually paranoid—if you were in the first place, which you were not! Because apparently the spider had camped out in your clothes all day and night...

You totally didn't scream your ass off again that morning at the revelation.

You did scream at the sight of abs on your body that same morning though. And that's the only reason you'll ever thank the spider, forget the cool powers.

After that you thought it would be cool to use your powers for good, inspired by your uncle. You decided to have your own cool hero costume, symbol, and name (which you still haven't gotten. You originally thought of the Human Spider. People on the streets called it dumb, claiming they would not be calling you that). You had (unfortunately) been (TEMPORARILY!) named the Spider-Person. Which was insanely stupid and you needed to come up with something quick before it stuck completely. Maybe the Human Spider wasn't so good but it wasn't as bad as your unofficial name now!

Anyways, as for the cool hero costume. You had to use what you had at the time, which was...your normal clothes. Getting a costume online seemed cheap, and dressing up as an existing character in the media and saving people seemed wrong. It would only deny your identity as a hero. So you put on whatever clothes (mostly colorful pajamas) that you had, covered the bottom half of your face with a bandanna, and called it a night. And boy did that get you a lot of ridicule, but you got the job done, right? The only thing it didn't do was protect your body from scrapes and...stab wounds. You hated little knives.

You're not the smartest in the world and it's not like you had the money someone like Bruce Wayne could pull out of their ass and make cool superhero wear.

Once you were recruited by Batman, he gave you your own hero costume—no, suit. Every suggestion you made was followed. It was perfect. The mask had to be your favorite part though. Something you didn't suggest was the some type of magic on it, something called hammerspace. Basically you could have any type of hair, or ears...probably even a pair of headphones on your head and it won't show through. It'll seemingly disappear to this hammerspace (you weren't sure how it worked exactly, but it works nonetheless so you won't question it). The magic was done by a team member who was needed very rarely named Zatara. Another man with a silly hat on his head.

You attempted to try it with Batman to see if his bat ears would disappear (which was completely encouraged by Robin by the way. No- completely his idea!) He was not happy. (You got benched for a month...no patrols, no missions...and Robin got off scott-free! How was that fair?!)

Wally starts to bring up your part of the fight, specifically the bus incident.

"Hey isn't that the third time that's happened to you this week?"

You sigh, exasperated and playing it up, "yes."

Robin butts in before you could say anything more, "Couldn't you have caught them? Y'know with your spidey senses and incredible strength?" He has the nastiest smirk on his face. His smartass totally figured you out.

"Well yeah, duh. But it's fun seeing the looks on the bad guys' faces when they realize I'm not dead and I can carry a however many pound bus! Is that so bad?"

"No but it's embarrassing for us."

"What? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Yeah, our best friend who's powers include crazy senses that gives them insane reflexes? That best friend can't catch a big, yellow bus being thrown at them? Embarrassing." The one time Roy will take the claim as your best friend is when he's insulting you? Unsurprising.

Kaldur cut in, sensing your defense a mile away, "It is pretty shameful of you."

Your jaw dropped, even Kaldur of all of people was agreeing? Oh this is insane!

You point a figure at your friends, trying to get your threat across, "Well I find that incredibly offensive and you should all take that back before I-"

"Isn't the point of your powers to detect danger before it comes? How come that's the third time this week you've been hit by a school bus? It's embarrassing, Spider." Batman's monotone voice made his words all the more insulting. Your frown deepened.

You sigh, "Yup. Real embarrassing for me. I got that."

"No, embarrassing for me. I've got a reputation to keep up."

He walks away without another word.

"I can't tell if he was trying to joke around like you guys were, but I'm still offended."

"He was being dead serious. And for the record, so were we."

I wrote this before I wrote my Conner fic. I just realized I made Batman tease reader at the end of both fics…??

Since it's November, that basically means it's Christmas, so I want to look back at Arcane's most self-indulgent promotional art (illustrated by @GreezArt).

Practically everyone's here! (RIP Mylo and Claggor)

Look at Vander and Silco, they're not just being civil for the family... but actually cordial. Silco looks like he's ready to close the gap. Jayce and Mel get to enjoy a kiss under the mistletoe with no missile in site.

Cait and Vi are on cooking duty, but I doubt Caitlyn's ever had to cook, lol. Sevika gets to enjoy carving turkeys instead of necks, and they all let Singed join, for some reason.

For once, Jinx and Ekko aren't trying to maim or kill each other, they get to play with the toys instead. Ekko gets his spinny crystal bombs, and Jinx gets a suspiciously hollow rhino.

In a nice call back to young Viktor's boat scene, an older Viktor has managed to capture someone's interest in his handcrafted boat through Jinx. And in the back, Heimerdinger gets to put a hextech star on the tree with Ekko's board. Everybody gets to have a good time before next season.

Tim and all the young justice are now babysitting the supersons for the day, how bad this can go?

[at the zoo]

Bart: Timmy, we have a Code Ligma.

Tim: Kon got his hair stuck in the toaster?

Bart: Is that what it is now? I need a new handbook.

Cassie: Kon's hair is fine, but we lost Damian and Jon. He's flying over searching as we speak.

Tim: Damnit. Where did you last see them?

Bart: We just finished the Antarctic exhibit and went to the gift shop when I needed to use the bathroom. I was only gone a millisecond!

Tim: A millisecond too long, unfortunately. Did they leave any clues at the scene?

Cassie: They ditched their safety leashes. Damian must've loosened them when we weren't looking.

Tim: According to Find My Assassin-Trained Siblings, Damian got to the savannah section before he turned off his location.

Kon, flying over: The rhinoceros fence is broken. Like, ripped out of the ground.

Tim: We'll just follow the trail of animal prints then. Young Justice, assemble!

Cassie: Pretty sure that's copyright.

Tim: Nothing a little cash can't handle. Now, spread out and start searching. If we find them, the codeword is "neoexistentialism."

The team: *split up*

Damian and Jon: *right behind them on a rhino*

Jon: Should we tell them?

Damian, with a timer: I want to see where this goes.

[webbedphantom]

He hadn't noticed the substance move... but that could've just as easily been because he was too focused on getting it in the bag.

Her suggestion of taking the sample to her sister caused him to facepalm.

"Sae, right! Why didn't I think of that-?"

Probably because thinking is not your strong suit. Not when you're away from your desk, at least.

"Hey, that's-!!"

"... That's fair, yeah."

Her concerns at his plan were valid, and might've been ones he'd share if he took the mask off and thought about it a bit longer. But as is, he was confident in the idea.

"Well, ideally we catch the thing off guard. That way we can pull it in before it even knows we're there. But failing that-"

"-I think I can handle it. I mean, I may not be as strong as I am in the Metaverse, but I'm still pretty tough. Plus I've fought a walking tank with rocket launchers, so compared to that, this'll be a breeze!"

You haven't even seen the creature yet. How can you possibly be sure??

"I can't, but I have faith that I can at least press a button before it can take me down."

That's not faith, that's overconfidence.

"Eh, same difference."

Unbelievable...

That said, while he could be more than a little reckless when it came to his own safety, he wasn't going to do the same with hers.

"But just in case... Keep your distance, and your MetaNav prepped. If it takes me down before I can pull it in, you hit that button and get out of here. There shouldn't be any shadows this far away from the subway, so you should be safe in there."

"I mean, that's not gonna happen, but it never hurts to have a backup plan. Now... let's see if we can find this thing-"

He started slowly walking towards the other end of the warehouse, lenses flashing yellow as he used his third eye to scan every inch of the place on his way through.

"Haha! Got something-"

There were faint traces of that blue substance along the floor, small little drips that were difficult to see in the darkness of this side of the building. But with his third eye, it was as easy as following a trail of bread crumbs.

However, the trail came to end sooner than he expected, with a small pool of the stuff forming in the middle of the floor.

"Oh, c'mon!" He whispered in frustration, keeping his voice down as to not attract unneeded attention. "Already!?"

Drip

He scanned the area again, trying to find any trace of their target-

Drip

-but no luck. No matter how hard he searched he couldn't find any more leads.

Drip

"Where the shock is this thing?? It couldn't have just disappeared!"

Drip

Aaron.

"What??"

Do you hear that?

Drip

"Yeah, so? It's an old, abandoned warehouse. It's bound to have some leaks."

That's not what this is-

Drip

"How do you know!?"

Look. Up.

He turned his attention towards the ceiling, and it didn't take long to see what his Persona was talking about. There was a large black... thing hanging from the ceiling, with a white scaly head peaking out from the bottom. The way it was hanging was almost... bat-like. But the head of the creature was certainly reptilian.

Its eyes were closed, so it was probably sleeping. And upon closer inspection, the blue substance was trailing down from beneath what appeared to be its wings, dripping down into the puddle on the floor.

"... am I crazy, or is that a shocking dragon on the ceiling?"

You do talk to yourself a lot-

"Dude!"

But... yes, that is... definitely a giant reptile with wings. Which... technically makes it a dragon. A European dragon, anyway.

"... cool, cool. Just checking-"

She watched as he pulled some of the... whatever it was into the small plastic bag and for a moment she could have sworn she saw it twitch but surely that was just her eyes playing tricks on her. He had moved it after all and it was likely to move slightly... there was no chance whatever that was was alive... right?

Pushing herself to her feet she watched him before holding out her hand. "My sister can probably help us get it looked at. Given everything she's done for us so far I'm sure she'd be willing to help keep people safe from a potential monster and getting it somewhere with people that are equipped to handle it would be for the best." She explained before he brought out his phone.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? It sounds a little dangerous... if you're off by even a second this thing, whatever it is, could seriously hurt you." He was good at what he did but even he had his limits and if he was taken out before he could get them into mementos she would be in deep trouble as well.

Lowering her hand she supposed they could decide what to do with the sample they'd taken once they'd gotten a better look at what had left it behind. "Let's just be careful. It's just you at the moment and if you get taken out I'm going to be in danger as well."
