I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE.

THIS SEXY ASS FISH PINS HIS EARS AGAINST HIS HEAD WHEN HE'S:

ASHAMED

DEFEATED

Tense...? (I'll elaborate at the end)

Probably more tbh

AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY 🗣❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

In this scene, Steb has his ears pinned back. His ears naturally rest pointing outward from his head. In the second scene, it looks like he's holding them back, but if you look closer in the first one, they're actually just resting flat against his head.

I see a lot of people saying that it's probably due to him being sad about Maddie's betrayal, but I feel like that's a little too vague. YES, he's most likely sad that his buddy stabbed him in the back, but I feel like it's more a shame kind of thing.

IN THE GIF BELOW, you'll see what I'm talking about. He looks over at Caitlyn, but after giving her a small glance, he looks back down, seeming to show some kind of shame or defeat. (Maybe even hopelessness?) There doesn't appear to be an out in their situation, and Steb knows that. I suppose he COULD be ashamed that he had trusted Maddie, but I feel like it's mainly just the defeat from the battle.

Ears flat against his head:

Ears usual resting position:

You can see his whole ear in the kneeling scene, and it's clear that he's not touching it. His ears just naturally pin back during some situations.

Not only that, but there are multiple scenes where you can see his ears twich. (I picked scenes from the same episode since it's easier to see here.)

↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑

(In these two, you can see both his ear AND scale frills twitch)

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

(You gotta look closely for this one) ↑↑↑

But this is where my third bullet point comes in, as well as why I'm kind of iffy on it. During the fight with the shimmer guys, Steb almost gets FUCKING SPLIT IN HALF, but Loris comes in clutch and sheilds Steb.

While Steb is curled up for the impact, he pins his ears against his head, as you can see here.

I feel like him being "Scared" isn't exactly the reason why he pinned his ears against his head. During the whole fighting scene, you can tell he is QUITE terrified, but he didn't have his ears pinned back until the scene above. I feel like it's less terror and more tension. He tensed up and curled on himself due to him expecting impact, causing him to pin his ears back.

STEB NATION, HOW WE FEELING⁉️⁉️⁉️🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm not caught up with Critical Role but I heard something something Essek turns into a fish something something and my two braincells collided like the damn Hadron Collider to create something stupid as hell

[friendlyblock]

Do you like birds more, or do you prefer fish? It doesn't have to be pet related! You could just pick one you'd rather geek out on!

[avintmich]

Did you take a photo of me? A? What kind of fish is this? Well, how can you not know! I'll tell you blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.....

Eddie definitely has like a stack of books he got from the library when he was like 14 and just never returned. The books are on fish and the underwater world because Eddie is a huge marine biology nerd

thinking about pokemon again and I'll never forgive them for getting rid of Lapras' fangs to make it look more cute and friendly or whatever

There's a really fun little realization that I had (and decided Ardwin also got to have) very early in 6.2, during that bit where you're going around the castle and talking to all the voidsent.

And then Ardwin, because she's a giant fucking nerd about fishing, is like "OH- THAT'S why most voidsent look fucking terrifying - it's just like deep sea fish!!!"

Because the thing with deep sea fish is that most of them look horrific - huge teeth, massive jaws, all kinds of incredibly weird shit - as an adaptation to their environment. An environment, specifically, where food is extremely scarce, and if they come across prey, they cannot afford to let it get away. And for that matter, a lot of their other oddities are for dealing with an environment with very little light.

So, overall, conditions that are really similar to the Void!

And then you end up with voidsent that have huge ass claws. Or huge ass fangs. Or some other way of snaring prey, like prehensile hair. As well as voidsent with a shitload of eyes, or one massive eye, or no eyes (presumably using some other way of perceiving their surroundings).

DEEP SEA FISH!!!!!!!!!!

Do you ever wonder if Steven named his fish Gus from Sarcophagus?

🦈Daily Shark Fact🦈:

The Frilled Shark's common name comes from its gills: Unlike all other sharks, which have separate gills, a frilled shark's first pair of gills go all the way across its throat; each pair is lined at the edges with red “fringe.” accompanying its 'fringe' this species has a mouth that is lined with 25 rows of backward-facing, trident-shaped teeth—300 in all. This is the shark that is believed to be the origin behind stories of sea monsters.

Randy: See, I'm aroace, which means I'm not the type of gay who goes after boys or girls

Stu: Then who do you go after?

Randy, dreamily: Horror movies

Billy: So... you're a nerd?

Randy: YES! but also dudes and chicks will never compete to the thrill of a masked killer

Stu and Billy *share a look*

Hours later-

News reporter: Randy Meeks found dead by friends who claim that this is what the deceased wanted. We don't know who killed him, but friends are insisting that this is what Randy would have liked
