Hey... so there now appear to be AI-generated science articles on .org websites that are giving biologically incorrect "facts" on basic, for-children topics

The title is "Are There Freshwater Octopus Species?" which should be an incredibly straightforward thing to answer: No.

The article starts out decent:

"Despite their many fascinating features, there is no evidence to suggest that octopuses can survive in freshwater environments."

Cool. Okay. Next section.

"While most people associate octopuses with the ocean, there are some species that can survive in freshwater environments."

Wait. What?

"Freshwater octopuses belong to the genus Amphioctopus, which includes several species that are found in brackish water and estuaries. These cephalopods have adapted to life in freshwater environments and have been observed in rivers, streams, and even hydrothermal vents."

NO NO NO.

One species of freshwater octopus is Amphioctopus aegina...Another species, Amphioctopus marginatus...

THESE GUYS LIVE IN THE OCEAN. [Scrolls 2 more sections]

Freshwater octopuses are still a topic of debate among scientists. While some researchers claim that they do exist, others argue that there is not enough literature to support their existence.

after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far

Simon had him and you all convinced that it was just sex and nothing more.

“No attachment.” He always said, everytime — sometimes so hurried and forgotten that it's just mumbled against your mouth before he's shoving his tongue down your throat.

Sometimes with so much urgency that it's lost between your moans, no attachment, babe, no attachment. And you believed him because it was really just sex, wasn't it ? There were no pretty dates and no fancy dinner at ritz, maybe those poorly wrapped ones he pretended he had not ordered and takeouts he brought along...but oh please, no attachments!

But maybe sometimes about those walks in the city where he would not so subtly grasp your hand, and you would catch him stealing glances at you while a teenager fiddled with his guitar, rhyming she came, my world lit with narcotic, I am addict.

No attachment but Simon's standing outside your workspace when it's raining —“I thought you might need it.” holding up the umbrella but those two words were there again when you were knee deep in the passanger seat and he was eating you out... because it was casual, right ? No attachment.

And it really didn't burn and ached until you got sick, real sick — puking your guts out and coughing until your ribs gave up, surely he wasn't the best role model of no attachment when he was panting to death as he picked your unconscious frame from the floor, you still remember the faint whisper of his ‘please don't leave me, please, please don't —’ over and over.

And if he wanted for no attachment then he should be gone. Gone and not come back because it was just sex...

Simon shouldn't be mopping the floor, and stirring your soup and touching your forehead every five minutes.

No attachment then why he's loading your grocery and taking out trash and doing your laundry, why he's wiping your tears and telling you it's going to be alright.

Why he's not leaving like he always did because there were no attachment right, but he's right here, tucking you in bed and washing your hair and reading you book.

“Is it some eccentric joke ? Why this Zaid is always growling ?—also when you get alright... we're gonna try it out, lovie.”

You blushed, but it wasn't just what he was suggesting but that word, it felt good.

“S-say it again.” You whispered, shifting your head in pillow. Simon turned back a page he was reading from, your scrunchie on his wrist.

“Zaid growled—” You screwed your face,“—oh, we'll try it—”

“last word. Your last word.”

“Oh.” He said, “Lovie...you don't like it ?”

You shaked your head, sniffing very unsexy-ly

“Call me that...I love it.” Simon pushed up the book up his face, his neck was pulsing with his many veins and you knew the blush that would be blooming on his hard face. Cute.

“Again.” You tilted your head, to get a look at his flushed out face.

“Okay Lovie...sleep now.” He grumbled, flicking your bedside lamp off and bookmarking the book with one of your scrunchie he removed from his wrist.

“Huh...Good night baby.” You said, waiting to be corrected, waiting for those two words to come and upside down it all.

But they never came, like they never even existed, never had a meaning to them at all.

No attachment, lost forever in darkness.

“G'night lovie.” He said so sweetly, and when you closed your eyes this time, you only saw daylight.

Grim Reaper! Simon

What do you think riddle's dad is like? He was so randomly dropped lol are they divorced? Unhappy couple? Off getting milk with Ruggie's dad????

I swear he talks about his dad at some point? (I thought it was one of the birthday cards, but I just skimmed through them all and didn't see it, I am at a loss as to where else it might be). assuming I didn't just make it up, his parents are still together, but they don't actually get along very well and his dad mostly just...avoids interacting with them both. just in case you were worried for a second that Riddle might have one non-sucky parent! 👍

honestly is it any wonder that Trey spent thirty seconds with him and immediately was like

For anyone who needs to hear it:

Being nice to everyone and being a good friend etc doesn't mean you let everyone do whatever they want.

You can be a nice person and a good friend and still kindly but firmly set and enforce boundaries with others.

If they take issue with you setting boundaries for your own comfort and enjoyment, they are the issue, not you.

devastated at the idea of lucanis getting lumped in with our usual kind of mage haters because he’s “the mage killer”. he’s just good at his job and they let him kill slavers about it!!! he has these special senses for the fade it’s that he has the specific skillset for it not that he’s Being Weird about it

fun fact of the day: in the raws, albatross's name is hinted to be read just like it would be in english, but, because of some pretty neat stylistic choices, it's written with the japanese vocabulary word for albatross: 阿呆鳥 (ahoudori) = 阿呆 (ahou) "dumb" + 鳥 (dori/tori) "bird" - apparently named so because it was easy to catch? - and, of course, that begs for some wordplay...

chuuya, annoyed by albatross's loud all-nighters: i'm always telling you that your floor is my ceiling!! but it seems like you keep forgetting it anyway because you're an idiot

albatross: that's. terrible of you to say

I am bouncing around teen titans headcanons in my brain, and bare with me because I refuse to learn the actual teen titans rosters so this is entirely just the characters that live in my head

but like

You are Koriand'r of Tamaran. You are young. They call you Starfire, which is almost your name. You have survived war, and invasion, and torture, and you are angry. This world is not your own, but you will defend it nonetheless. You are a child, and a princess, and a hero, and that is too many identities for one person to hold, but they are all yours, and you will hold them all while defending the people that you will never be a part of.

You are Wally West. You are young. This was your dream. You idolized the Flash, hung his posters on the walls of your childhood bedroom, and now you get to fight beside him. You just didn't know it would hurt this much. You wouldn't trade this for anything, but you are a child, and you never thought that you'd actually be a superhero, and you never fully considered what that would mean. You still have the posters on your wall, but sometimes you consider tearing them down. You will never be normal again.

You are Donna Troy. You are young. This is not your first life, and it will not be your last, but you do not know that. You were made from a mirror; a copy of someone great. You know you can be great too, but sometimes you fear the concept of reflection. You are a child, and the weight of the world is on your shoulders. You think you can carry it. You have to.

You are Garth. You are young. This is your planet, but not your world. You come from somewhere far different from the people you now protect. It hardly matters though. Your people rejected you too. You're not human, but you're not exactly alien either. The surface is not your home, you don't think, but it's hard to call the ocean your home either. You are a child, and you belong nowhere.

You are Roy Harper. You are young. Everyone thinks that Green Arrow taught you how to shoot a bow, but he didn't. You idolized the hero that you now get to work with, but things are beginning to sour. You are a child, and the world is cruel, and you are angry, and it doesn't matter how many people you save because you can't fix that. You're not sure how much longer you can take this.

You are Dick Grayson. They are young but you are younger. You made a group of people who are like you, but they're still not like you, are they? You are singular, and that is lonely. You are at once younger, yet more experienced. More human, yet more strange. You are not alien, or superpowered, or magic, or aquatic. You think you are human, but now you have Roy to compare yourself to and that doesn't seem right anymore. You are a child, and you have to believe that you have been trained well enough to survive past that.
