Unfortunately spring and summer are longer/better growth cycles than winter insofar as hair is concerned ε٩(๑><)۶з been reading up on hair stuff growing out my curly hair, thought I would share. I think hair stuff is overtaking horror movies as most prominent special intrest; cannot stop telling ppl about the hair porosity water test. Our hair is so fucking cool holy gosh. Bf said, "there's a nen test for your hair???" Hunter x hunter enjoyers will kno

This is a story about a book that changed my life.
It's also about how amazing libraries and authors and people who care about sharing cool things with curious kids are. Also, fish (especially fish). It's kind of different than what I usually post but it's been bouncing around in my head basically since I started this blog so here you go, I hope you like it. This is the reason I love coelacanths so much, and why I think everyone should know about how amazing they are.
When I was little, I loved going to the library. My little brother and I would pick out way too many books and the librarians always had to come over to override the 30 book limit at the checkout stand (they pretty much knew us on sight and were ready to override it as soon as we started heading over to check out). After we finished getting our library books, our mom also let us look through the free pile that was in the foyer on the way out. It was mostly old library books that the librarians just needed to clean out, but there were a lot of books that people brought when they cleaned out their personal collections too (especially teachers, and there were a bunch of books with old school library stamps inside). The free pile didn't usually have a lot of things that interested me, but one day when I was poking through it I found a book called Fossil Fish Found Alive: Discovering the Coelacanth, by Sally M. Walker.
I loved it. I had never even heard of coelacanths before, but this book fascinated me. It told the story of an incredible animal, long thought to be extinct, that had somehow survived for millions of years! It was nothing like any fish I had ever learned about before. I already had a casual interest in marine biology that I can thank PBS Kids and Wild Kratts for (particularly their episode on sperm whales and giant squid, I loved that episode), but this book took it to a new level. I wanted to be a marine biologist so I could learn more about coelacanths.
Like a lot of things when you're 7, that was a phase. Unlike a lot of phases, this one I came back to. After taking a break from my dreams of being a marine biologist to experience the hell that is middle school, one day I pulled a book off my shelf. I hadn't read it in a while. When I picked it up again, I remembered how incredible this animal was, and how much it had inspired me when I was younger, and those thoughts of becoming a marine biologist started to return. I'm in college now studying marine science, and I brought the book with me to school, where it sits next to two other science books that have inspired me (My Friends the Wild Chimpanzees by Jane Goodall and The Sea Around Us by Rachel Carson).
Earlier this year, I was thinking about how much this one book had changed my life and I wondered if I could find Ms. Walker and thank her. I knew she had many other science books for younger audiences, and even another book about coelacanths, so I was sure she had a website of some kind, and I was right. So I found her contact page and wrote her an email explaining the impact her book had had on my life, and thanking her for it. And to my surprise, she responded! She was very kind and we sent a few emails back and forth. She gave me some excellent advice and even told me about some of the people she contacted while researching her book, including Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer herself, the person who rediscovered the coelacanth when it was thought to be extinct! I'll never forget how she took the time to respond to me and how encouraging she was.
But Ms. Walker isn't the only one I have to thank for pointing me toward the path I'm on right now. If I hadn't already loved reading, if I hadn't seen any show or video to make me interested in marine biology, if the library didn't have a pile of books for anyone to take home, if I had lost that book during one of our many moves as a kid, I don't know what I'd be doing right now. There were a lot of things that happened to make it so that I found this book, but I'm glad for every single one of them. They led to me learning about an incredible animal and changed the course of my life. And now, I love coelacanths.
#long post#bee talks#my post#coelacanth#i love coelacanths#omg guys its the long awaited ilovecoelacanths backstory post#it came out kinda sappy lmao but whatever im gonna post it even though its so cheesy#ugh i hate being genuine and showing emotion on the internet it makes me feel so cringe. but whatever. cringe is dead so#also wow look at that i actually CAN use real grammar when i want to#not a single smiley face emoticon in this whole post. why did i do that. i like my little guys#here. here's one. :]

"DNI if you-" this and "Don't follow if you-" that; you're all cowards. just put this in your bio like it's 2007
#personal#context:#I'm backing up ff.n fics because I don't trust the website to stay up much longer#this was in someone's ff.n profile#also honestly? I like this so much better than a DNI#it doesn't pass any judgement#it's not a moral stance#they're not sending death threats over it#it's just#''here's the stuff I don't personally like''#plain and simple#and with emoticons even!#now I know that they feel o_o about siblingsibling ships#and - _-" about gay stuff#whatever that means#xD#this person wrote one of my favorite ff.n fics by the way#love them#I hope they're well#if you're out there. I'm thinking of you#and archiving your fics#because I'm scared of them being lost forever#and they're important to me

Okay- I read part 5 of the charmed serial killer Simon fic and ong owhdjwhfjhrnebejje
I can do imagine Reader is just at home trynna make some brownies or make Simons favourite food that he mentioned he liked literally one time and the kitchen becomes a mess and poor bby just doesn't know what to do and then Simon knocks on her door and she feels so bad and Simon sees reader covered in like flour or something (cliche but it's popular for a reason ykykykykykyk ansjdjd) and his heart just- THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMTHUUMTHUMTHUMTHUM
Because how can a single person be so adorable- ejehrjehrjbsjfd …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ
Reader is the type to trip over her own rainboots and then feel bad that Simon is sharing his umbrella. Meanwhile, he’s thinking about holding it over her while she sucks him off 🤭

ocgrammers reblog and tell me how your characters type
#i think jun would be all lowercase occasional punctuation#and would use emoticons all. the. time. especially kaomojis#tadashi is the why use many word when few word do trick guy. all lowercase but uses proper punctuation#theyre way more expressive in text than in person. uses :) often. cant see them using kaomoji or regular emojis tho. other than heart maybe.#they also use abbreviations and dont care if people understand. usually theyre just making em up too so who knows wtf theyre saying#nobui makes a lot of typos esp when shes excited. no patience to correct them. uses emojis like every other sentence#types in all caps often. doesnt use punctuation other than exclamation and question mark#also uses abbreviations without caring whether people understand or not. borderline incomprehensible#u know that comment thats “at least try 2 b interesteing kind of its y its says midly idiot”. thats nobui typing#yuuhiko is always proper punctuation proper capitalization. actually not normal about it. needs to seem like the smartest person in the room#or he will explode#isnt very expressive in text. will occasionally bust out the 🙂 if hes actually in love with whoever hes talking to#ocposting

NEW THEME AGHHH okay but like...e please drop your how sunkiller got together thoughts I NEED TO KNOW
i read this fic about two years ago and it’s always been stuck in my head. if i was answering about a muggle au, though, i’d have to go with a pub/beer garden meet-cute-ish thing?? they’re just so painfully british i’m sorry.
imagine a pub full of men, who are basically on the edge of their seat because the football score was nil-nil all throughout. in the last minute or so, the team they support only just scores a goal and the cheers of pure glee are nothing short of deafening. everyone’s happy, drunk and talking to people they dont even know.
eventually, the group outside of the stuffy, crowded pub to sit in the beer garden instead. everyone is just too happy to fixate on any feuds or grudges so they all actually to get along (which is extremely rare). james and barty somehow end up in conversation and realised they shared similar intrests, humor(ish), disorders etc and gradually got closer.
#i honestly dont have a clue i havent thought about it#made this up on the spot (it took me about two hours)#i love beer gardens#↤ WHEN THEYRE NOT FREEZING COLD.#sorry for saying nil-nil the 0-0 looked like an emoticon and i thought it would be confusing help#help the way i described the football is so amusing…#also lets pretend they’d support the same team because (realistically) they dont#i couldnt decide who else would watch football so i made all the marauders & co sit together help#↤ most of them at least#this doesn’t mean their relationship is particularly healthy leading on#sunkiller#jarty#barty crouch jr#british#pubs#beer garden#football#meet cute#james potter#jfp#bcj#i hope this is disappointing#ask!! 𖤐

I think about that Jolbeck fanart you drew (where Jolene has finally kidnapped Linebeck and he’s being flirty about it) like at least once a day. Anyways. I want to hear more of your thoughts on those two :3
KSAJDFHLKSF gosh yeah idk. On one hand their relationship is pretty toxic and insane and I don't think they'd have a healthy and happy relationship BUT on the other hand I kinda like them ToT They're kinda cute and charming to me idk.
#I love that image#Also yeah you're getting the old fashioned emoticons I'm answering this on my computer#I cut my pinkie on Saturday and it's HURTING#but yeah i like them idk#They're so insane and toxic and I need them#jolbeck#asks

I'm writing the next chapter of um au, promise, but now all I can think of is Lemon meeting Maria and Carver and being like, "Ladybug, you collect goths to balance out your golden retriever energy." And Ladybug is like, "Huh? What do you mean?" But with this kind of energy: U´•ᴥ•`U?
Ladybug has so much golden retriever energy Lemon doesn't know how many goths he'll need to balance it out asdfghgfdsdf
#ALSO KIRK I LOVE THAT EMOTICON SO MUCH....IT'S SO CUTE.....#ladybug bullet train#lemon bullet train#yuichi kimura#maria beetle#carver bullet train#bullet train#my art#fanart#answered#doodles#bullet train 2022

im not sure im familiar with too many of them...is there one youre thinking about in particular:3
I have been thinking about the starship edda characters a lot lately….(PROBABLY OBVIOUS FROM MY ART LOLLL) specifically maymunah I like them a lot. They’re fun to draw
they’re a stowaway on the space ship starship edda takes place on because they don’t feel welcomed on earth and think the stars are calling them. They have psychic powers because they got hit by a shooting star when they were 4. They’re 12 and they think their life is metal gear solid. They have abandonment issues and can shoot an orbital laser using their mind
#theyre very special to me they’re quite an old oc. certain followers might know what they were originally from LOL#old rp…. theyre their own thing now though lol. now they can shoot lasers with their mind#also always thinking about white whale fall. i was going to work on the website for that today but I got distracted trying to grind#the catalog before the season ends -_-#i love this emoticon -_- my disappointment

Ok wait. Seeing the last ask got me thinkin about your SwapOut AU. What about Far Harbor?
-v( ̄ー ̄)v Anon
( Btw Sorry for the sorta Back-To-Back asks! )
Don’t be sorry for asks, I live for attention.
As for far harbor….i haven’t put much stock into it. Supposing I could have swapped nick with DiMa but I didn’t, though I did utilize the initial premise in swapping nick with x6. So that leaves me with a few possibilities.
-Given that the three big players (and their associated factions) in far harbor are DiMA, captain Avery, and high confesser tektus, there can be some way to swap the three of those together.
-There’s also swapping individuals within the group itself like DiMA with faraday.
-But Since x6 takes nicks role in this that also leaves the possibility of swapping far harbor characters with institute characters.
Honestly it’s like playing chess at this point and trying to figure out a move that doesn’t crumble the entire premise, and it doesn’t help that it’s been so long since I played far harbor. I’m leaning a little towards swapping with the institute because of how heavily that dlc deals with synths, and there’s so especially fucky things I could do with Valentine as well. Overall, I don’t have a clear answer at this point, but I will think about it
#also I love that in my notifs you reblogged and admitted you were anon and then sent another anon#I’m not calling you out it’s just…it’s a little funny that was so back to back in my feed#anyway I love you emoticon anon come send asks anytime

I like Samantha so much!! She's adorable, but I know so little about her,,,why the hell is she blue at all??
She is, what I have poorly decided to name her kind, a Bluple. She isn't human.
(Eventually I want to come up with a better name for her kind, but for now you'll have to just deal with the world bluple.)
Bluple have deep blue skin, which can vary with greenish or purple undertones. Elliot is also a bluple. Blemishes on their skin like freckles or moles or scars turn white & glow faintly, which is why Samantha has white freckles.
They've lived on the planet CQ takes place on for thousands of years, but their kind actually came from the moon originally. The moon has been vacant of their presence for a long long time, though. Their history before their arrival is largely forgotten.
They have latent psychic abilities that used to function long ago, but the population has since lost the ability to access this power. The older they get, the closer they can get to accessing their psychic abilities, but few live long enough to achieve anything of significance.
But Samantha is different! At a young age she suffered an injury to the head. She was headbutted by a young magical dragon, who would end up kick-starting her psychic abilities as well as bonding her mind with this dragon. They would end up being dependent on each other. That is why Samantha has Yuan by her side.
She also developed narcoleptic issues from her head trauma. She falls asleep easily and randomly, and her powers are at their strongest when she is sleeping. Whenever she needs to call Yuan, or whenever she needs to guide him, she is usually asleep doing so.
Anyway, aside from her blue & psychic origins, you'd be right in calling her adorable!!!
She likes to act cute, surround herself with cute things, soft things, colorful things. She loves to draw, knit, sew, craft things... she's just an artistic person and her art style is always cute.
You know, she custom made Debbie and Vilmr's cosplay outfits! Well, most of it. She didn't make Vilmr's visors or Debbie's fake teeth, but their clothing she made just for them.
She is my sleepy little blueberry princess :3
#oh shumantha i love you so#she's always been one of my favorites to draw#also fun fact in a lot of writing with her#she speaks with emoticons#erm just as a visual gag she doesnt say them outloud#but a lot of writing for her will be like 'Ehehe hi ovo'#Tim does this too. :^)#brambleramble

Hi everybody!! I'm so glad you guys seem to be excited for this!! I've already gotten a lot of submissions so far ⟨(0o0)/
Unfortunately, I made this blog in a very busy season at my school... I have a bit too much homework to respond quickly for now. I promised Uncle Kaz I wouldn't let this distract me too much. I guess I didn't plan that well... oops. _(>.<)_ But I'm looking forward to going through them when I get the chance!! I'll try not to keep you all hanging for too long, okay? Oh, and don't feel like you have to stop sending things in in the meantime. I'll be fine!!
Thank you so much everyone, and I hope you have a good day!! <3
#one of my favorite things about this blog so far has been making up my own (°v°) type emoticons bc i never use them#but i feel like she would love them#also i think maybe i'll break character in the tags? that seems alright i think#anyway yeah oops i started this like Immediately before all of the pre-finals projects are due. like i have 3 presentations this week 😬😬😬#agony. we'll be fine though. anyway again thank you all for your interaction!! i was kinda worried this wouldn't take off at all#also to the anon who pointed out the issue with the banner: im working on a response. im going to change it#and i wanted to address it properly but im not sure i'll have time for a couple of days. but it Does matter to me#and i'll talk about it more explicitly and at greater length then. genuinely thank you for pointing it out to me#i wanna make things right. i just need a minute so i don't like. fail my classes#i'll try to get to it tonight. thanks again
