#because with seahorses

[davestaresatthesun]

boy oh boy im obsessing over the details again wahoooo time for more indepth look at the troll kids family structures \o/

warning under the cut to a couple really brief mentions of child neglect/abuse/childhood trauma :,]

Sollux Mituna and the helmsman [i blame unda for filling my brain with helmsman signless brainrot beFORE IVE EVEN READ THE FIC WITH THE HELMSMAN IN IT-] are bio siblings, both adopted by thier dads [biclops but its two guys-]

karkat and kanaya are adoptive siblings, met in the system at 9 and refused to be separated- signless [imma need to figure out a 'real' name for him frick] is also dolorosa's much older [18 when karkat and kanaya are adopted] adopted son [older brother figure signless yesss :D]

terezi and litula are the bio kids of Redglare, dragon mom is their grandma :D

-> side note, badass lawyer moment when redglare divorces her pos husband shortly after terezi is born and he tries fucking them over in court but she absolutely RUINS him

vriska and aranea bio kids of mindfang, spidermom grandma, generational abuse/trauma [arania give into it, vriska acknowledges that its fucked her up but refuses to let the repeated cycle ruin her and her life]

Eridan and Cronus bio kids of seahorse dad [literally. they have two dads and one is trans hehehe]

tavros and rufioh bio cousins, kids of tinkerbulldad; tavros bio kid of tinkerbulldad, rufioh bio kid of Summoner [tavros ancestor]- Summoner dies and tinkerbulldad adopts rufioh

gamzee and kurloz bio kids of seagoatdad- he's an absent father tho so they're basically raised by thier older brother [grand highblood]

aradia and damara bio kids of goatmom- their dad's passed away; damara was born and raised in where they're originally from [havent pinpointed exact location], they moved to the americas shortly before aradia was born

feferi and meenah bio kids of condy- seamonstermom is their grandma

-> side note to play into the whole thing that thier lusus favored feferi over condy since condy obviously wasn't around anymore, their relationship is something like feferi not really liking her mom but loves spending time with her cool grandma, and condy brushes seamonstermom aside a lot so seamonstermom or all short and stuff with condy but very very nice to feferi

equius and horuss bio kids of darkleer, but they're this high class arristocrat/buisiness family so they're both basically raised by their butler/nanny [Aurthour]

nepeta muelin and nep ancestor [the Diciple] kids of Pounce de Leon [catmom]- TD is her bio and oldest kid, nep and meulin are adopted

[cephalotyrant]

ridoaz rule of thumb: don't let azul win

[bookwyrm-art-stuff]

Just about finished scum villain, which means I'm letting myself take a look at the fandom. I thought I was prepared for this- "I've already experienced TGCF and MDZS, how much worse could this be?"

You fool.

tfw the merman you've been befriending for a week while you visit your best friend has the most dysphoric day of his life and all he can think about is ovens

[dogtoling]

for the record if they actually outright do horse seahorses in splatoon this is more or less how i imagine they'd work. Seahorses would make for good show horses at least, with their flashy colors

Them being steeds doesn't make much sense from a glance because aside from being quite literally the slowest fish, they would have to have become massive for no reason for this to be possible, and they don't have fins that could develop into legs so the only way I see them moving is for them to evolve to slither like snakes. Though increasing in size and potentially developing much tougher skin and sharp spikes could've been a viable strategy to keep them safe from predators as well as make them good battle steeds. Furthermore Inklings could be drawn to their often vibrant colors which could match their own and be used to easily see which side a horse belongs to!

5. What's your controversial marine biology take? Oh, have I been talking about my controversial takes these past few days! Ocean sunfish.... beautiful, so silly but so beautiful.

To name another thing, perhaps this is moreso something that grinds my gears rather than a controversial take but I haaaaate when people say that male seahorses get pregnant. It's what it looks like but it's not the case!!! He just has a pouch where the egg are deposited for safekeeping, it's like mouthbrooding but with a designated pouch!! He does not produce the eggs and all the nutrition the eggs receive was never from him!!! Perhaps I get too hung up on these aquatic animal technicalities, but it still makes me needlessly annoyed whenever in fiction there's like, seahorses, and they imply that the process of seahorse baby development is the exact same as human baby development but.... backwards for sexes..?

[klabauters]

If you make any symbol for any group ever, make sure that it's, like, simple and easy to replicate.

...and so we decided to settle on intricately carved leather seahorses, I fucking guess.

And guess who's the idiot making them.

You've heard of the Nefarious Anglerfish... now get ready for

Contented Seahorse

[mx-myth]

Having a VIVID idea of liansanjiao as a team of underwater scientists. Dfs is a diver/underwater photographer. Fdb is a researcher aka the one paper-pusher out of the three of them (he writes all the papers). Llh is also a diver and oversees the upkeep of their underwater research facility (he's the one who roped the other two into this) as well as a certified doctor (specifically for marine research-related illnesses, like decompression sickness). They're researching seahorses (because I said so).

tiny little seahorse in my brain, she is responsible for forming memories
