Happy Sea Otter Awareness Week! 🎉 🦦

Who knew? It’s Sea Otter Awareness Week!

I’m honored to share a birthday week with one of my favorite animal species, and I wanted to take a bit of time to yap about them— I’m an animal caretaker at heart, what can I say?

So what are Sea Otters exactly? They’re carnivores for one, mostly preying on hard mussels, crustaceans, and even urchins. They’re intelligent enough to use tools such as rocks or their sharpened canines to break open these hardy delicacies. Have you seen the action before? It’s adorable!

Pretty practical for an animal without opposable thumbs, huh?

Speaking of their prey, did you know sea otters are actually known as a keystone species? Kelp forests thrive in the ocean, producing around 50% of the earth’s oxygen! Cool, right? Unfortunately, purple urchins love to chow down on the bases of kelp, causing them to break off and die. These forests provide shelter, oxygen, and food for its diverse species that call it home. Without them, the ecosystem itself falls apart.

Fortunately, sea otters find no problem in having an urchin feast for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Sea Otters also lack blubber. Instead, they have millions of tiny hairs clustered together to help them thermoregulate their bodies. Their whiskers, called vibrissae, help them detect prey that they might not otherwise see with their eyes. This is due to vibrations in the water.

Sea Otters also give birth to one pup at a time, given the high demands and dangers of the ocean. Fun fact— the mother will sometimes wrap her pup in kelp like a seat belt and leave to find prey. That way the little one won’t wander off and mom knows they’ll be right where she left them.

The bond between mother and pup is strong. They’ll even take in orphans and raise them as their own in rehabilitation scenarios.

Usually, males stay apart from the females, while the females stay with the pups. Sometimes they’ll aggregate in one area and form what we call “rafts”. They hold hands so they don’t float away from one another. :)

You can typically tell females apart from the males if the otter has scratches on her nose. For some reason, the males typically bite the female’s nose for courtship purposes— definitely not a way to get a girlfriend in our society, but it works for the otters I guess.

Sea Otters spend about 10% of their day— or around 2 hours— rubbing oil onto their fur. This oil is made in their sebaceous glands and is completely natural. It serves to keep their fur water proof; the water rolls right off! Many birds have similar behaviors.

Perhaps the most silly fact I learned about them was that sea otters have “armpit pockets” to store extra food in.

Human adaptations are so lame in comparison imo.

Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be an animal learning session if we didn’t talk about the sad reality of our climate and the planet. Sea Otters are threatened by oil spills, boating accidents, and habitat loss; amongst quite a few others.

With such a rapidly warming climate, toxic algal blooms can spring up on the coasts; in part due to fertilizer runoff entering our oceans. These blooms are toxic to many species, sea otters included. This messes with their neurological functions to the point they forget to do basic necessities to keep themselves alive.

So, do your part to limit your carbon footprint by recycling, eating sustainable fish, using non-chemical fertilizers, keeping our beaches clean, and please DO NOT APPROACH A SEA OTTER!

Yes yes I know they’re adorable, believe me. But it is literally illegal to touch or disturb one. Keep our furry friends safe and admire from a distance.

Enough with the doom and gloom, have some silly little sea otter pictures:

THEY USE THEIR STOMACHS AS TABLES, STOP— 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Recent cute thought of ours: him as a sanitation worker

Check it out… yeuup

[sebsxphia]

I’m sure I’ve read about 85% of bob fics out there… and I’m only wondering one thing. WHY is nobody calling him “bubba”??? To me bubba is such a cute nickname and it’s already so close to “bob” 😭 Like I feel like he fits the nickname so well

imagine early mornings with that man and everything is tranquil and quiet, coffee’s brewing, he just finished dressing up for work. You’re on the sink washing something, he comes and hugs you from the back, you greet him “goodmorning, bubba” and he kisses u on the cheek

Do we have any thoughts on this? (Sorry I’m ranting but that man drives me insane lmao)

no, no do not apologise at all, we love the thoughts!!! he drives me insane too, phew 😮‍💨 these ted talks are fantastic!

i do have thoughts. and the thoughts are, YES. absolutely we are calling bob, “Bubba”!!! give me the tranquil coffee morning with him any day now please 🥹

It’s the name you called him instead of Bob one night when you were a bit too drunk at the Hard Deck after only been dating a couple of weeks.

“Oh my god! What?” Bob couldn’t stop laughing, holding you up by your shoulder as you keeled over with laughter. “That’s it, gimme your phone.” You giggle handing it over, (Bob also totally knows your password).

“What are you doing?” You placed your hand on his chest peering over at him tapping away on your phone. “There you go. I’m now Bubba in your phone.” He said showing you the screen with a smile plastered across his face. And it stayed like that, stayed as “💞 bubba 💖” for the rest of your married life.

thank you so much for this dear anon! 💌 im absolutely in LOVE with this idea to the end of time! 💖 what else do you think he’s called?

TOH SPOILERS

Viney: T r ai t or.

I'm sure somebody has already found this, but my sister and I were rewatching Moon Knight and specifically looking for hints about Jake and I'm pumped that I found this!!

LOOK AT THEIR HAIR!!!

I was watching, and the first one is Steven obviously. Loose tousled hair because he likes to fidget with it.

But then I paused it to point out the symbolism of having all three (This was from the first episode)

And then...the second one is most definitely not Steven

IT'S MARC!!

His hair brushed back because he hates it in his face.

And finally, while I'm not super familiar with Jake's hair style, I'd assume that the third one is Jake.

Probably more swept back, doesn't care about it as much because it's usually under a hat, and when he takes his hat off it falls over his face slightly.

All three of them together, the three faces to represent them, and the head behind them as their shared body.

HIIIIIIII I wanted to ask for Sundrop with a reader that's like completely infatuated with him? Loving on him whenever they can, kissing him, hugging him, playing with his little sun spikes, holding his hand, more kisses (i love giving kisses) etc? Just absolutely in love with him because he's got me all giddy n shit and I would die for him

Like this in bed rn ↓

THIS IS SO CUTE IM SO SORRY I DIDN'T GET TO THIS EARLIER :( i literally have a FNAFSB oc that acts like this with sunny and so im sorta projecting?? i hope that's okay <3 hope you enjoy!!

btw i prefer to write sunny as a character and not an animatronic, so there will be things mentioned that an animatronic can't really do (i.e., changing their physical expressions). i hope you don't mind!

oh no, you're gonna kill him (not literally) with your actions!! he never really expected anyone to be so head-over-heels for him, so saying he's shocked is quite an understatement!

of course, he LOVES to be affectionate with you, but he himself gets so flustered easily (he still loves how affectionate you are) <3

surprise kiss him, and his little sun spikes are gonna shoot out to the point that they look like they're gonna fall out

speaking of, he never really understood as to why you play with his sun spikes so much?? but whatever, it's extra affection so he's not complaining at all

he would actually reach for your hand very often!! so yeah, you two are actually always holding hand forever. it's canon now, trust me, im his box of crayons

HE WILL NEVER TURN DOWN A HUG LIKE- he loves them too much so he can't refuse one (especially if they're from you)!! he may not be the most comfortable animatronic to hug, but that doesn't matter bc he's happy and cute :)

when he gets smothered in kisses? he gets this goofy smile on his face and its sort of wobbly and it's so!!!! cute and i love him!!!!

you can BET that he's returning all of your affections!! he's just so happy to have you in his life!! and he's a very affectionate person in general, so it works out very well <3

hes so cute the skrunkly swiooo sqeeee i love him <3

EEEEEEEEEEEE I NEED THIS MAN AS MY HUSBAND!!! HES LITERALLY SO PERFECT SQEEEE!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

rolls into here.... do you happen to have any headcanons or ideas perhaps on how nordic would treat his s/o. this is totally not for oc/canon / f/o reasons (lying)

the only idea i have so far is that he's like, 100% a little clingy even if he tries to cover it up

hell YEAH I DO!! oh my gosh i was hoping so much that someone would send in a request for our favourite sexy guitar man 🙈💖 he shows off so much character in such a short space of time...tell me what you think of this 😉

Nordic Bunny x Reader headcanons 🤘🎸

🎸 Nordic Bunny is the very definition of devoted to you. he's a man of deep insecurity and impossibly high energy, and when that's put in combination, you're in for a whirlwind of a romance!! he's always doting on you with unique, delightfully embarrassing (and LOUD) compliments, declaring you things like, 'The Awesomest Partner in the Galaxy!' and 'A Paragon of Beauty and Intellect!'. he simply doesn't have an ounce of shame in his body, so he pretends not to hear you when you try to get him to hush. in fact, you suspect that he rather likes the way his words make you squirm and blush! 😳

🎸 clingy doesn't even cover it - Nordic Bunny borders on separation anxiety. he's forever touching you in ways he tries to play off as casual: light touches on the waist, fingers curling around the shoulder...but Nordic always seems so disappointed when you finally break away. when the two of you are alone, he'll sometimes drop the bravado to ask you in a small voice, "You're not...planning on leaving any time soon, right?" at night he's insistent on being the big spoon, and curls around you like a latex blanket, tail wrapping over your thighs and strings tickling the back of your neck. he's forever terrified that you will find a reason to move on...so you know the best way to reciprocate is to be vocal with your love and generous with your attention 🥰

🎸 lucky for you that you have such a powerful villain for a partner...if anyone so much as looks at you wrong, they'll be wiped from existence. you bet if someone throws a harsh word your way, Nordic Bunny is there to clap back instantly, with a, "You kiss your mama with that ugly mouth?!" or a, "I know you are, but what am I?!" the rebuttal is soothing, but just for show...because as soon as you're distracted, Nordic's going to send an army of Battle Crabs to pinch the offending person until they're seafood. make no mistake: Nordic Bunny would die for you, but he'd kill for you first 😉
