If you don't know too much about the depths of Earth's crust, 2 miles under may not sound very much. BUT HOLY COW, IT IS THOUGH!!!

Because there is NO OXYGEN down there. And it's REALLY HOT from all the pressure.

And according to radiocarbon dating, these worms live in groundwater that is 3,000–12,000 years old???? The ONLY other known organisms down there are Single-celled little blobs -> THAT IT EATS. THIS CREATURE IS INSANE.

This stupid little nematode is able to thrive in extreme conditions due to its adaptations to the environment including changed cellular respiration pathways to facilitate survival in low levels of oxygen and literal modified enzymes to keep it from blowing up from pressure and heat. Bruh????

Learn more about this little abomination <3

This mf is CRAZY.

Listening to Thud! while driving was a mistake, I had to fight back tears so I could see the road.

Sam Vimes will commandeer carriages and shut down major roads to get home to his baby boy on time. He approaches being there for his son with the same uncompromising severity and dedication he gives to The Law. Character of all time oh my god

I’m in a local pizza place and while I was eating I heard these songs in this order

Carry on my wayward son

Bad Moon Rising

Goodbye Stranger

Twist and Shout

Stairway to Heaven

Running on Empty

Carry on My Wayward Son

Long story short

So on today’s edition of “looking back at cartoons with an adult POV,” in Reality Trip Danny helps Sam lie to her parents (possession is like lying, right? A little bit?) so she can go with his family on vacation, her preferred stop being a goth music festival in the “bleak Nevada desert.” I personally believe that this is the fictional analogue of Burning Man, bc it would track.

And I say at age 30 that bitch you are 14 years old no you ARE NOT going to fucking BURNING MAN

He’d wanted to take on Feld alone… he’d wanted to test his limits. And he truly had left the emergency line to Nettie — a child who still had no idea Samhain had stayed and had only called Nightshade because she was thrilled to chat with a kitty. Bran stared at Samhain, baffled. Words failed him entirely this time.

He barely processed Samhain giving Nightshade the cat carving; only her excited squeal pulled him from his daze. At Samhain’s next words, Bran’s face paled even further. Confronting Feld was a bad idea for so many reasons. He’d just opened his mouth to tell him this when someone called from downstairs.

“Nightshade?” Nettie’s breathless voice, both eager and puzzled. The child herself appeared on the stairs a second later. Her cheeks were flushed, curly hair damp and even more tangled than usual. Samhain’s rumpled flower crown still sat atop her head. She held another flower crown in her hands, with pink blossoms the same shades as Nightshade’s outfit.

Spots of mud stained her dress. Maude would fuss about that, Bran thought distantly, only to realize with a jolt of fear that Nettie had set foot upon the top of the stairs. She grinned at him with the delight that meant she was about to sprint toward him. Bran knew she’d burst into tears if she saw Samhain now.

Bran gave Samhain one last worried glance before he turned from the doorway and caught Nettie midway down the hall, stopping her before she reached the room. “She’s just finishing up now,” he reassured her quickly, remembering the child told him Nightshade came to search Samhain’s room. He managed a weak smile. “C’mon, she’ll be down in a moment.”

Nettie hummed and looked past him longingly, as though considering whether to dodge him and find Nightshade right away. Bran held his breath and let out a relieved sigh when she beamed at him. “Okay!”

As Bran held her hand and led her back down the stairs, she showed him Nightshade’s flower crown and described its creation with bubbly joy (Gruff had helped a lot, apparently). Bran nodded along, offering questions and compliments to keep her distracted.

In the attic, the cold presence decided to wriggle behind some old furniture and boxes. Wisest to hide for now, the creature mused from its dusty refuge, assuming Samhain would leave the inn soon. It liked the attic too much to abandon it right away.

“What was your plan A? Why would you take your barrier down if you weren’t leaving?”

Before Samhain could say anything, Nightshade answered with a disdained scoff. "Obviously cus he thought he could take on the big baddie all by himself!" The words, true as they were, still felt like a slap on the face. Even as Samhain stood up from the bed and stretched his limbs, he couldn't look Nightshade in the eyes when she was mad at him like that.

“You must’ve known what would happen… didn’t you?”

"Ah... admit ah overestimated my abilities to take control o'me own unconscious," Samhain confessed, rubbing the back of his neck as if it were stiff from a few hours of sleeping the wrong way. It wasn't. "Ah've done it only a few times before an' ah thought it wouldn't hurt to test out some limits.." Whether it was the creature's limits of controlling the dreaming or his own ability of taking it, or both, Samhain didn't elaborate.

He held the dream draught in his hand for a bit before stuffing it into his pocket. "It won't happen again," he said, resolutely.

"But o'course ah knew what would happen if I failed, which is why I left a emergency line directly to Nightshade in case anythin' happened," he defended once again only to be shot down immediately by his aforementioned Plan B. "Uh-HUH, yeah, leave the supernatural hotline to the kid, of course! Smart idea! Probably cus if you told anyone else your hare-brained scheme, no-one would've let you!"

"Nightie, please."

"You're lucky she called at all! And right after, too!" Suddenly Nightshade let out a little gasp, remembering sweet little Nettie was expecting her today, "Oh no! I better get going!" It was raining so everyone must've come inside by now and her absence would be noticed, no doubt.

Samhain nodded. "Before ye go, Nightie, could you take these with you?" he asked, handing over his belongings as well as the items on left on the drawer, save for the music box. "Mr. Arthur made this for you," he took her hand and placed the cat carving in her palm; green, beady eyes looking up at her in matching glee.

"(GASP) Is that lil' ol' me???" she squealed until she remembered she was still mad at the ghoul, clearing her throat and looking away. "I mean (cough) It's cute, I guess. Don't think you'll get off that easy."

"Yer welcome," Samhain chuckled. Now that he knew all his items were in Nightshade's safekeeping, he turned to Bran. "Maybe you should stay with Nightie an' keep Nettie company. As for me," the ghoul said with a smirk, green eyes looking up as if he could see all the way through to the attic above them. "Ah think it's time ah have a little chat with Feldmire~"

Okay, I have A Thought.

So I've seen around a few times that Danny's heart stops and freaks out people with superhearing, particularly Superman and his family. Que the freaking out because this child's heart has stopped and they haven't even seemed to notice.

But what if Danny keeping his heart beating takes effort? He has to focus on it at least a little all the time to seem more human. But if he's relaxed because he's, say, gaming over at Tucker's, he stops paying attention to if his heart is beating or not, and it stops. Sort of like how if you're walking around in a place you don't know in the middle of the night, you're tense and worried, but once you make it to a little area or a place you know better you stop being so nervous.

All that to say, having a beating heart is a stress response for halfas. And, like any other stress response, having it be constantly active can have long term negative effects. This was discovered by Frostbite shortly before Danny told his parents about being a halfa, and in fact influenced that decision. It turned out well, and Danny's heart began to stop more and more frequently while at home, to the point that it rarely ever beats at home now.

So que Phantom joining the League through some shenanigan or another, and together they're working to dismantle the Anti-Ecto Acts. The League knows he's powerful, but he's paranoid enough that he hasn't told them about the whole "half dead" thing. He's wandering around the Watchtower, chatting with Superman as they walk past a window that looks out into space. Danny's chatting about his weekend plans with Sam and Tuck, Superman's chatting about his upcoming visit to Ma and Pa's farm, and suddenly the kid's heart just stops.

And Superman freaks out. Because there is a child right next to him having a heart attack and seemingly not knowing.

He rushes Phantom to the medbay, only for his heart to be beating again? And the kid looks really freaked out and confused now. So he apologizes, explains what he heard, or rather didn't hear, and asks if it's an arrhythmia or something.

And now Danny, poor, socially awkward, barely a sophomore in high school Danny, gets to explain that sometimes, if he's really happy and content and feels safe, his heart stops and it is actually a good thing.
