The Oceanic Manta Ray (Mobula birostris). (X)

To my two Tumblr followers give me an animal and I'll design a character

I’m doing a project on Gulper Eels (aka Pelican Eels, Pelican Gulpers, or Umbrella-mouth Gulpers)

And- these fuckers don’t even look REAL-

A lot of deep sea critters, you see them and you understand Lovecraft’s fear of the ocean

But some of these guys-

LOOK AT HIM! HES SO STUPID LOOKING!

THIS IS MY IDIOT SON WHO I HATE HIS NAME IS BONGWATER AND HE HAS EVERY DISEASE!!!!!!!

[isp-annafer]

I'd like to give Polites from Epic the Musical a formal apology because when I first heard Open Arms, it was so cheerful and optimistic and soothing my first thought after finishing the song was, "Oh, he is so doomed by the narrative. He's gonna die."

(And, fool that I was, despite all the warning signs, he became my favorite.)

[wildmrmix]

@battleslippers redesigning him rn actually because I have no clue why I made him shirtless the first time around

[neteyammeowmeow]

Genshin au Benhthomaar concepts + mai version of his human design…. (not final anyways these r like warmup doodles) The LORE will be written in��� like 500 years. But Kalmaar is dead (and so is mostly all of Merlopia anyways), Neuvillette adopted him, the Melusines consider him as their older brother, he fights in stilletos and he is super cool ummmm…. He’s supposed to represent the deepest depths of the ocean… And he’s dating Diluc that’s all u need to know YAYYYYY!

I've read so many amazing books this year. I read quite a few good ones last year, too, but I've found a lot of "best I've ever read in my whole life" books this year.

(or: I just finished Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt and my heart feels a special balance of the grief of finishing a book and the contentment of enjoying the ending.)

If you're curious, I put the books I've enjoyed most in the tags! (Below the cut I'll include their authors too bc that feels right)

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

The House on the Cerulean Sea (and the sequel: Somewhere Beyond the Sea) by TJ Klune

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig (su*cide warning for this one btw so read with care)

Honorable mentions from last year's list of books I read and loved:

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

And

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson

[acegodzilla]

I don't usually post about my sticker collection on here but like....just LOOK at all the stickers I found on my last couple of trips to the goodwill outlet

That's not even all of them!! I have duplicates of some and I didn't include any of the incomplete sheets or the alphabet stickers I found

Not to mention the pile of creative memories stickers I haven't sorted through...

(feel free to correct me if any of the below information is false! I'm just one guy! I won't be able to edit these posts, but a correction is always appreciated anyways)

Bloody belly comb jellies get around by beating their cilia, the sparkly/yellow bits running down their sides! Like the red coloring of the comb jelly, the sparkle isn't visible down in the deep ocean. We only know it looks like that since we have to shine a light to see them!

Japanese spider crabs are scavengers, moving slowly and eating dead organisms! Also, they are a type of decorator crab! The juveniles will "decorate" themselves with sponges or anemones for camouflage!

"Sounds like Dorian alright," Randall chuckled; even as a boy, his best friend seemed to take any and all opportunities he found to try and throw a party, and although these attempts didn't always pan out, he still tried. Even as a child, Randall knew it wasn't because Dorian enjoyed being the center of these parties (unlike what some suspected), it was simply because he wanted everyone to have a good time drinking, dancing, playing party games, and just overall having fun, and that especially went for Randall, who got to enjoy some of these lavish get-togethers through Dorian, who always insisted his best friend and his mother get to join in.

(And who knew-maybe that'd still be the case once they made it to California; Dorian throwing parties. They'd probably be scaled down from the wildly over-the-tip ones held at Gracey Manor, of course, but he could see his dear friend still putting quite a few on for even the most minute of celebrations.)

"I wish I could see these dresses too," he smiled, brightening at the idea of making him and Emily matching outfits, and especially giving his all when it came to his bride's dresses; he'd never do anything by half when it came to her. It was a shame she couldn't have brought them back with her from the future, he really would've liked to see them (and see if he'd any gotten better post-mortem-Lord knew he had all the time in the world to practice and improve!)

"Did you, uh, have a favorite that I made, for a particular party, I mean?"

7 + 18!!

7: what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?

BIG FISH. not any one in particular i just love it when there are surprisingly large fish at the aquarium <33 and sting rays!!!!!

18: your boba/tea order?

i loveeee soursop/guanabana with tapioca, but when places don't have that (which is. frequent. i am sad and deprived of my beloved obscure boba fruits) i usually get mango with tapioca!

ask game here :)

[stuck-in-the-ghost-zone]

MACCC!! for the fanfic ask game thing. ummm i don't know a specific word 2 send but i am intrigued. eyes emoji. (<<on computer and do not want 2 look up emojis just to copy/paste one) what r u writing!!! what's ur fav passage in it so far!!!! i wanna hear abt ur writing!!!!

omg whiskey i forgot we were not mutuals while i was in my fanfic writing arc. omg. i have not written a fic since we became mutuals holy shit !!!!!! absolutelyly insane . ANYWAY i write about my ocs all the time and also silly little self indulgent stories that i dont share bc theyre just for me. BUT. CURRENLTY. i missed writing fics so i am in a months long hiatus of a fic for mission to zyxx which is a silly improv comedy podcast that i was super into right before i got into trigun !!!!!!!! its my beloved ever. however the trigun brain worms overtook me before i finished my fic and i have not gone back to work on it much :( i WANT to finish it tho bc the fandom is very small annnd i literally read every single fic in the ao3 tag in the span of like a week. i need 2 add to it.

ANYWAY basics of the fic (spoilers for mission to zyxx incoming !!) :

the main character has a bug egg laid in his eye and throughout all of season 2 it just grows in his eye and makes it look all fucked up until the s2 finale where the egg hatches and another character pulls his eye out before the bug makes his head explode. << its not as fucked up as it sounds bc this is a full comedy podcast so everything is played for goofs and this moment only lasts a total of like 6 seconds but i am a sucker for body horror especially when it involves gross bugs so !!! i am judt rewriting that scene with my own headcanons ans making it scary and emotional 😌 hi my names mac ghostiezone and i love horror and gay people.

I HAVE TO REREAD MY ENTIRE WIP TO FIND A PART TO POST i cant believe ur making me do this (<< THANK U I HAVE NOT LOOKED AT IT IN WEEKS) apologies in advance for my setup i like 2 write on my phone in the middle of the night so my google docs is in perma-darkmode:

<< we love an alien mind contrrol parasite that makes a usually cowardly docile character behave like a monster 😌😌😌😌

[sundial-girl]

would hiki be a friends with the crows person or a friends with the crabs person

more inclined to say the crows b/c aside from a sense of bird favoritism, i feel like its easier for him to actually encounter crows?? like crabs live near the sea man (and/or some large bodies of freshwater ig but lets ignore that for these purposes)... when/where is lil ghost boy gonna pull up to the ocean 😭😭😭

given crows' intelligence now you're just giving me the mental image of him trying (and failing) to convert crows to religion and ahkhskjhakjhskjghkjh 😂😂😭😭😭

[alexchooch]

making my kids (ocs) into merpeople bc my love of sea creatur has taken over

my feelings for Neuvillette have crossed the lines of lust and have entered the love territory.
